Broke a rear upper shock mount, I'm gonna make a new one
So, last saturday took 3 friends in my TJ with a 2" bb to a nice and hidden waterfall in a very complicated trail... and in a certain point in the way back the rear left upper shock mount broke, heard the noice but couldnt really find the problem until we where in a more even ground...
So I had to remove the shock bc it was actually starting to damage itself, along with the fuel tank and the frame  ... I made it back to the city and now I need to have this thing fixed while I get my new lift...So, anyone has any ideas that might help or measurements of something like a BPE? any suggestions before I start making a mes tomorrow at the shop?

Actually... Its the perfect excuse to justify my lift... I was thinking of a 3" rustys, but now im more convinced of getting a RE7000-3 i found it with shocks SYE and CV for a very reasonable price... so Im going for it...
BTW,... i didnt get it   ... why are you so happy to outboard the rear shocks? HEEELPPP ....  Quote:

Why not just pop in to a local auto parts store, buy a new bar pin and put in a little extra bumpstop so the shocks don't bottom out? |

Get some Warrior brand pins for replacements. They are Solid, not the crimped tube crap.
