I think you are referring to the little aluminum angles. Those came with the kits...I don't believe you can you can buy them anymore as pti is pretty much done. (LOL, actually we pri owners are still waiting for March 2010) though, they should be easy enough to fab yourself. If you'd like, I can snap a pic of them tonight for ya..lemme know...

wadkins- Yes, the lower links goes to those angled brackets.

Also, there are small spacers that sit between the axle and bracket that the mounting screws mount through. This rasies the bracket high enough to clear the thin structual angle coming off the top of the knuckle (which goes through the slot on the top side of the angle bracket). Similar spacers may not be need if your making your own brackets though.

Here's the pic from the old PTI website (I forgot about that new in March thing LOL). Hopefully rik will have a better picture to help you.

heres some pics if ya wanna fab'em up your self. so, here's the pic that S_C_I_P_I_O79 posted. these are the pieces.. in this picture the piece on the left will mount on the front left and the one on the right will mount on the front right. the rears are the same pieces.



here they are, on the axles. the pics are of the front left/drivers side of the rig. lower link on the bottom and shock on the top. notice in the second pic that the mount is resting on the axle. the little plastic spacers that S_C_I_P_I_O79 mentioned go here, in between the mount and the axle. they slip over the screws. i dont have them mounted anymore..








i tried to get as many angles as i could, hope this helps ya. good luck!
