Hi guys just came up with a way to mout shocks that do not have a ball mount on the top, like a ball mounted shock! Just figure I would post it up it may help some one! I spent hours trying to figure out a way to make the upper shocks move freely when twisting and still be solidly mounted!

Just used 3/16 brake tubing for the mount, ran a small screw through the tubing and used the ball end of a shock as the nut. then mounted the shock to that! Now the shock has all range of motion due to being mounted to the ball.

Yeah I've been doing that too.

TLT Newbie Question

It works great so far. I did have to drill out the rod ends to accept 6mm screws. That worked better.

Looks good.
