2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission coil spring mounts/shock towers...

[THenningsen]

Does anyone make aftermarket coil spring brackets/shock towers that mount to the frame. I'm looking for something that will just bolt or weld to the factory position.

 

[THenningsen]

i need them for a 4wd truck. Anyone got any ideas? Would it work to use a set off of a junked truck and weld them the frame?

Not quite sure what your looking for. Maybe these will work.

anything will work with some thought and planning, and of course a welder and cutting torch or plasma cutter, go to pirate 4x4 and look at some of the custom setups there.

I helped a friend of mine put a dana 60 from a chebby under his custom turd ranger, moved ths pumkin to the right side of the truck and added the coil spring perches and it works great, 42" swampers fit like the were made for each other and all factory parts used

You could maybe buy a couple of the steel coil spring spacers and gusset the crap out of them then weld that to your frame to make your coil mounts.



Figure out the outer diameter and inner diameter of the coil your trying to mount then hit the custom jeep sites, you may find just what your looking for at some place like bluetorch fabworks, rusty's offroad, wagoner machine, rock crawler suspension, etc... Some place like Advanced Frame works or Matkins jeep frames that makes jeep frames from scratch may be able to help you out. they must have customers that request coil mounts.

The guy and girl from Xtreme 4x4 took a pair from a junked Dodge and welded them to a custom frame to hold up a Duramax. Stock or aftermarket shock towers would be easier to find too.

You can buy the stock buckets used for the recalls on the 94 4x4s but why not just go to a full coilover set up .

where would one get the 94 buckets? What are the advantages of the coilover setup?

 

[Bob4x4]

Any Dodge dealer can order the buckets. Going to a coilover will allow you to get up to a 4"diameter shock giving you unbeleivable control. I have gone to a 3" King from a 2. 5 Fox,the differance is amazing.

Hey Bob- Got any pics of the 3" King setup? I have 2. 5" Kings now, but 3" has gotta be better!
