You could make a tab out of the same material that bolts to the outside of the chassis rail. Then just cut it to whatever height that you need.

yep, just make flat tabs that bolt to the chassis and have holes for your shocks.

Cut the plates on an angle and round off the corners.It'll look better.Here is a pic of my home made chassis with mounts for the shocks.

ok i got it running and let sjust say it works not much flex due to some binding but im going to make a braket to drop the tranny and lower links so i dont get the horrible axle steer that it has now its like 4 wheel steer
