I plan on buying some Ford shock towers but after getting a part # (E5TZ-18183-A ) off of this board i went to the dealership to order the mounts. After looking at the Microfish at the dealership the mounts looked like they were for shocks with a single pin on the top not an eye. Can someone clarify that they will indeed work with my RS5012s.

Thanks Michael

Go to the dealer, tell them you want shock mounts off a F350 97 02 range.

I dont have my partnumbers here to give to you but I am running 9012s on the front of my heep.

The pre-99 Super Duty shock tower is what you are looking for.

get the ones off of an 85 f250 i believe. they are only two bolt but they cost about $12 ea. whereas the ones off of a newer f350 have 4 bolts but cost about $40-50 ea. I forgot the part # but its here on the board somewhere.

Thanks i went to the dealership today and ordered some for a 87 F250 (the two bolt ones). the part # was E5TZ-18183-A. The pre 85 mounts are for the pedistal mounted shocks but the 86 and up mounts are for the eye mounted shocks. They were $12.88 each.
