If you use the stock brackets on a lowered truck, I don't think the fittings would last very long. I mounted those two bushings straight to the frame.

No squeaks yet (haven't lubed them) and still feels tight with about a year of DD duty.
Mike, Which fittings won't last?. I am thinking about doing the same thing you did by mounting directly to the frame after knocking the rivets off.
