Hey that's kind of cool. Thanks for the news Frank!

For $13 it’s worth a shot. Just placed an order, hopefully here by the end of the month.

Nice find!

I can see it helping with side-hilling.

I have some like that in my truck and I love 'em. Mine came with all the screws and spacers too, and they work great. I also have front c-hubs that have a similar set-up, and shock mounts with multi mounting points, so it lets me drop the weight of the shocks a bit and gives all 4 shocks a spread stance. I liked that they take the lower shock mounts off of the link mounts and bolt 'em right to the axles too. There are pics in my thread, so you can see the differences.

Links for what you have up front? I’m looking to angle my shocks a little more to the back. With the HR shock mount they are still almost straight up, been looking for options.

I'm not good at links, sorry. But I got 'em on eBay. I just looked and there's still some listed. Just search "Alloy Metal C-Hub Carrier..." , I got mine from buy-never-stop and they have 'em. $11.39 ... free ship.

You talking about these from eBay?

That's what I'got for the rear, but PD asked about the front ones that are similar.
From the same seller tho'.

Oh, and just a heads up.... it's in my thread, but I mounted my fronts backwards to how they're marked. That is I put the left on the right side and vice-versa. Otherwise it loses a good bit of caster angle and the shock holes end up on the front of the axle.

I have these for the rear, work really well. The ones i bought came with screws and spacers.

slim front C-hubs also worth for upgrade? https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=...8-af82bf911c93

Placed an order for this today and payed $12.39 + shipping. Will take 2-3 weeks at least to reach stateside....

I have two pairs of those and they work pretty well. They allow you to change the ride height or allow you to run a slightly longer shock without changing ride height. They also sell front C hubs with mount holes like those for the front axle.

Well damn. I want these. This would go great with the taller shock towers.

Might want to try. What is the main crawling advantage?

Was looking at the stubby C-hubs that "Teng" had mentioned above - they're available on eBay for $95 <--

You're probably suggesting something like the one's Samix will be releasing?

Would these hurt side to side travel(ie when the axle is articulated?) seems like mounting the shock closer to the tire would hurt not help.

[dr frankenstyle]

I'm running this style on both ends of mine, just low-priced eBay ones, and they don't seem to hurt anything. My truck doesn't bind or clash at full travel on any corner. Can't say exactly if they help or how much, but they let a little of the shock weight drop down and outboard, they give a more solid lower shock-mount, they take a little stress off of the link-mount, and I like the stance with the angled shocks.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
