What did you do, I.m building a flat fender on postal frame, outboarded fronts, waggy wide track. Looks like I'll have extend the upper mounts out quite a bit, anyone have a clean, strong way of doing this? Thanks Domenic:beer:

You could build some hoops, if you have room, use f-250 shock towers. I made mine out of 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" rect. tubing 3/16" thick. Cut and angled them up and out from the frame a bit and trimmed a little inner fender away. Welded some shock mounting studs to them. They are about 9" above the frame. I run rancho 9012's. Just measure how much travel you need and start fabricating. The F-250 towers work nice. Stock waggy front tower are a few inches taller than factory CJ and much taller than what is on your DJ frame.

This is pretty much what I did too. Except that mine are made from round tubing and are almost touching the underside of the flat part of the fender. I mounted the bottom of the shock on the u-bolt plate which is a stock blazer plate with a mounting stud welded into the hole where the sway bar was mounted. It works great.

my hoops are made out of 1.25" round tubing extend up inside the hood about 1.5"

I'm using the factory lower mount on my waggy 44, I had bent them slightly outward so the shock body wouldnt hit the plate the u-bolts go through. I probably have some pics somewhere, but no red star, If you want I could e-mail something.
