[WB72]

Am planning on using a raised bracket for the front shocks, but the rear is making my brain hurt.

Trailing arm suspension.
Channeled frame.
Removed crossmember that held the original shock mounts under the bed.
Occasional driver.

Would the best option be to build a new bracket under the axle u-bolts and to the rear of the axle or itoward the front of the axle?

Should the shocks point inward or vertical or outward?
