What's the length of that handy f250 shock mount that everyone uses?

TIA.

Thanks.

What year is that on? I worked for Ford for awhile, and I was thinking of the squared one. That would definitely work for my application though.

That looks like the late 80's 3/4 ton application. If you search on this board in the jeep forum for 'ford shock tower part #', you'll find the exact number.

Here's (http://www.4x4wire.com/jeep/tech/susp/cj_shock_ext/) the whole article.

A cheap modification for CJs is to replace the shock towers with Ford F350 towers. '86-88 F250 and F350 shock towers will work for this application, although these towers were probably used other years. The Ford part number is E5TZ-18183-A, and amazingly, these towers cost only $12 each at the dealer!
