Rear upper bracket

Snapped one and will be replacing both. Does it matter which of the two holes in the upper bracket I use to install the new studs? Leaf spring standard height and using plain old Monroe gas shocks for replacements.

Re: Rear upper bracket

I would use the hole that keeps the shock as upright as possible. The more it lays over, the less effective a shock is at its job.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Rear upper bracket

i'm with scoti. Move the studs to the rear hole and the shock should work "better." If I would have kept the leaf spring rear in my truck I had planned to move the stud to the rear hole anyway.

Re: Rear upper bracket

How did it work out for you? Did you use the rear hole of the bracket for your shock stud? I have leaf spring rear also and was wondering about the rear location to mount the shocks, if it will work.
