We could raise the shock mount in house but there is not a bolt on unit that we make and sell. The way that the lower shock mount is mounted we have to cut the mount off, clean the house and weld on a new shock mount that is located 2" higher and then we make a brace that comes off the frame that moves the shock mount 2" higher. We charged $800 with Labor and material. ~Sara~

I like to see a shock mount setup that raises both, upper and lower, by about two inches!

Yes, I ask it about it too. Can you get a rear upper suspension mount rised a bit for a bit more if suspension travel on the rear.
As you know those 3.0 are too much for the stock travel. The amount of force those icons generate can't be dissipated in 12" of travel.

No it will not affect any axle wrap or wheel hop. I talked to my fab guy and he said that he would be able to make them so we could ship them but it would require welding. If this is something that I think enough people would be interested in I will ask him to start looking into making them so they can be shipped out. Let me know and I will see if he can make a set up and I can do some pictures to show everyone. I would have to figure out how much it would cost him to make. If I do have him start making them, it would take at least 2 months to put something together. ~Sara~


When you raise the lower shock mount, do you see any adverse affects to axle wrap or wheel hop?
