I have searched CK5 and the web. Where can I buy the Ford shock towers everyone uses for the front shocks? Is this a dealer only item?

When I got mine at the junk yard, I paid $10 for the pair. What a pain in the arse that was. I will never do that again.
They are a cheap sweet mod for our rigs though.
Good luck.

I paid like $19 each brand new from ford or some outrageous low number like that.

We talking the stamped or cast ones? I got my cast ones at the dealer Ford #F81Z18183AA for pretty cheap. Plus not having to search and pull at PNP was worth it.

Cast will usually break before bending... The stamped ones you can cut and weld if need be...
FWIW, I have the stamped ones... $19 at the ford dealer...
Very true! Mine are stamped also.
Well I run both for different reasons. I have the stamped steel ones in the back which I like because as mentioned they would bend before breaking and they're double shear...
I have the cast ones up front which I like because they were easy to mount for my application with 14" travel shocks and it's a stud which gives the shock somewhere to pivot as it travels BUT being a stud means it's single shear.
So whatever floats your boat but I run both.
