Also thinking about ordering these for the back:

Saves me time from having to make them and also puts them in double shear, perpendicular to the axle (which is what I want).

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Are you planning on using your shocks as bumps and/or limit straps?

If not, just weld a bolt to the axle tube and move onto something else.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Too lazy to make two simple tabs with a bolt hole in them?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Weld a bolt to the axle housing, order those, when the bolt snaps you'll have the bracket on hand to replace it with.

Are you using the stock upper shock mount(s)? I love the stock MJ rear upper shock mounts, at least compared to stock XJ rear upper shock mounts.

Ross, he wants the shock bolt perpendicular to the axle tube. I almost said the same thing.

my gf sent me a picture of a positive pregnancy test, said she took 3 of them and they were all positive. then went along with it for like 20 minutes. not cool.

do this:

my shocks are my limit straps and the shocks break first
(its a 5/8" bolt, im not worried)

thats just some 3/16" hitch tubing i made to bring it out to line up with the stock xj shock mounts better.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Yep, what Sam said. I ran mine like that for 3 years.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Ross you can't call me lazy...just doesn't make sense lol.

I'll probably just do that Sam. I'm not running limit straps out back. I don't expect monster travel out of the back, but we'll see.

I know, it would still be pretty easy though.

if you get a good shackle angle, you can get monster travel way too easily

and if you skydrive

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

We'll see.

If I'm going beyond the shocks travel then I'll get limit straps.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

them those timbrens?

Yep:

and later changed to this, because I kept pulling the mounting bolt through those from the side loading:

The little round dickhead looking thing is a piece of 2" round UHMW stock I got from McMaster, cut in half, then drilled/tapped for a stud:

(hint: Colin, you should do that for your bumpstops, it's relatively cheap and works great)

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I think I have a chunk of delrin about that size (1.5" or 2", iirc) around here somewhere, too. Yours if you need it and I can find it.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Another awesome old jeep pickup I can't afford to buy. :banghead:

One of those, restored, with a 60 and a 60/70/14ff plus a 6bt would be awesome. No way I am doing one though, no time no money...
