due to the axle being from a newer body style 97 F250, the shock mount was different and would work with the way our shocks are. I ordered a pair of shock mounts from Ruffstuff that made this very easy. if the axle was from a 96 or earlier then it wouldn't need them.

because I am planning on building a pretty strong engine for this truck, I might take advantage of the stock shock mounts and use them for mounting traction bars
