I mounted my shocks on the end of the links. I used some 1/4" cable clamps with tape around the link so they wouldn't slide around.  |

Another easy way is just to make a lower shock mounting bracket. Feel free to use this example from our Maxx Crawler Kit.... |

never have dealt with locking out stock arms, but always run the shocks to the ends of the axles if at all possible.It helps fight the torque twist.you can tell a very big difference when mounted on axle compared to links  |

Toyo's are mounted on the lower links not the uppers. Just an FYI in case you missed that.

|  Shock mounts are 1/2" steel that has been filed and drilled and the link mounts are 1/4" aluminum. |
