Any news on an upper shock mount? I got 2 pairs of the lower mounts last week and I just received a new pair of front shocks today.

Shock mounting for your Dana 60

I'm lost, nobody is making a hoop or a upper shock mount that will allow you to run a 15'' shock vertically. Its awsome that you came up with the lower one but how about an upper one that clears the steering shaft. I plan on ordering all my stuff from you to do my 52'' 56'' spring swap but I need a way to run my shocks??? Also I would like to see a hoop or tower to run my shocks vertically through the body in the rear, I know that this would be more of a one off design but I kinda want to do it like Mrk5 did his.
P.S. no I dont want to run the ford towers

I am working on mine now. I have the lower mounts and 15" shocks. I will post pics in the next day or so of the progress. BTW I am using Sch 40 pipe for them instead of tube. I don't see any problems with using pipe instead of DOM for this application. The upper mount will be close to the master cylinder by the looks of it. I bought these shocks http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/BBCS-Shocks-p-84.html
Please post pics when your done, I just got finished tearing out my drive train and I'm going to need ideas on how to run my shocks. Also let me know how you like the shocks because I was looking at those and the bilstien 7100's. Any idea what valving you are getting, it says its for a leaf sprung rock crawler but thats not very specific?

I already have the shocks and they seem to be made well. I bought them because I really like the bumpstop feature. I have no idea on the valving but they are supposed to work well for the spacific application you buy them for. I will post everything in the garage forum.
