Okay, so now that the C-Notch was complete, it was time to address the rear shock relocation.

The original upper shock-mount location left something to be desired on stock height vehicles to begin with. Lowering just made it worse, to the point that the shock would pivot on the bolts, rather than compress.

Being a state employee, at the mercy of continued budget cuts, I couldn't justify paying $89.95 for a shock relocation kit. Anyway, the lower mount seemed fine, it was just a matter of fabricating a new upper mount. Something simple that would bring the location further outboard, while decreasing the angle, and getting the shock closer to vertical.

So I went to this super-cool hardware place McFaddden & Dale's here in Vegas, and $18.63 later I had what I needed.

Time for another step-by-step tech write-up...

1st Photo.... Just showing original upper mount, and drilling of MORE rivets

2nd Photo... 2in by 1/4 plate, and 2 Pro-Fab tabs.

3rd Photo... Just used bold and spacer to keep everything lined-up prior to tacking. I angled the tabs a touch to line-up with the approx new angle of the shock.
