(4 Comments) Here you can see the improved shock angle and the barely see the lower re-enforced shock bracket.	Finally got the last fittings and finished the brake lines. Had to make a couple of 90 degree brackets to redirect the front brake hoses. Bleed the brakes with DOT5 fluid so hope that project is complete. Got the new front shocks mounted also.	(1 Comments) New upper shock mount. I'm using longer rear shocks and needed to raise the mount to avoid U-joint bind. Project kreep keeps raising its ugly head.	Front side of reinforcement.
While in there I decided to beef up the lover shock mount. These are notorious for bending so this 'should' help eliminate that problem.	OEM? shock mount. Must have been a bad day for the 'mechanic' to do it this way.	Here's a before and after of the half shafts. What a mess, half a day to clean them up. Not my favorite job for sure.	Front bracket welded up and ready to squirt and mount. The round flange is 3/4", the two hole bracket is 1". Plenty stout
The later control arms are relieved for disc brake callipers. Makes things abit easier.	Still need to find some brake hose that will work.	Drivers side rear caliper bracket	This is the right rear again.
