Gary, It's like a regular bottom mount, but with bushing where the single shock would go and the shocks mount on either side with a bolt through the middle. Top mount is basically the same. I'm thinking Sky offroad design is going to get some more of my money and I'm just going to bite the bullet now on the Bilstein of Fox. Do you have a part number for the ones you used?

So, all the force is on a bolt that only has support on one side? Better be a G8 bolt. Here's the label on the end of my box: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 You have a good point about the rear shocks. Hadn't thought of that. So, what's the plan, Stan? Quad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salans7 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Those look like the Pro-Comp version. https://www.ebay.com/itm/PRO-COMP-DUAL-SHOCK-BRACKETS-99-04-F250-F350-EXCURSION-4x4-LIFT-/131061352781 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm going to ditch the quad idea. Now I just have to make up my mind whether i want to buy some factory mounts or send Sky some more money lol. Those look like the Pro-Comp version. https://www.ebay.com/itm/PRO-COMP-DUAL-SHOCK-BRACKETS-99-04-F250-F350-EXCURSION-4x4-LIFT-/131061352781 Yeah that's exactly what they look like. Funny thing is they came off a 93 F250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I can make the time to get them fitted in and then I can officially say I am done with the suspension! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I can make the time to get them fitted in and then I can officially say I am done with the suspension! Cool! Look just like mine. I’ll be curious to see what holes you use to mount them. On mine they fit just right using the front holes mated to the ones on the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
