Lower Rear shock mounts
Last time i had my CJ7 out i bent both rear lower shock mounts. Does anyone have ideas where to relocate them at or if they are replaceable? I know if i out them back at the same place or bend the ones back that are bent now they will probly break off! Thanks for the help!

I moved mine to the axle tube and install Ford shock towers up through the floor board. I made custom covers and used them to mount the rear seat using quick disconnects. It was quite the project.

You 'really' need to get shocks that fit your springs. Too short or too long will always break something, I have seen shocks punched through the back seat even.
The other thing that stops breakage is the proper sized bump stops or if you bent on the droop limiting straps.

Shock Mounts
Got a pair from Quadratec recently. Replace the U-bolts at the same time.
