Nice/good choice on the swivel bushings. Sucks you're still waiting though.
Yes, the waiting is getting old. Holding up progress at this point, and I won’t be able to measure shock length until I get the bushings and trailing arms mounted. I think I will mount to the frame but will likely make a 3/16” thick 3x3 plate to basically reinforce the frame. Drill a hole in both the frame and new plate for the shock stud to pass through and attach the 3x3 plate with grade 8 bolts and call it done.
