My Little Project

I don't know if there is a company that makes a kit for installing an extra shock. I would imagine there is, but I'm unaware. I do know that the 12 ga air ride kit comes with a fabricated plate that sits on top of the leaf spring. The U-bolts run thru the plate, over the leaf springs and secure the axle to the springs. The plate also has two mounts for shocks. There should be a photo of it somewhere in this thread.

You could call 12 ga and see if they will sell you the plates and the upper shock mount stud. You would need to design and weld something to the top of the plate for a bump stop because the factory one would be eliminated.

There are only two things, Dave can't fix or weld; a broken heart and the crack in your ###.

 

Thank you. He has not done any welding on my truck yet, but yes, he is a great welder fabricator. I have been doing all the welding so far. I'm not a great welder but I'm learning. I wouldnt be proud to any pics of my welds, lol. In that photo he was using the torch and cutting off the upper shock mount frame hucks. I hate those darn frame hucks.

 

Great looking truck, has a very nice stance.
