Buy some ford shock towers.........
http://www.partsmike.com/store/store.php?crn=221&rn=1103&action=show_detail

I ran these with my 52s on the front of my K20.........

OOOooo Thats a good idea, are they sold in pairs the page dosent say.

Did you mount yours vertical or angled back (stock position)?

Also will they interfere with my steering shaft?

Mine did. I cut a V out of them, folded and welded them back together. Though they still need more bracing, I know more now than I did when I originally put these in so they are kinda shady.

and I made brackets to put the shock on top of the axle though it should lean back a little instead of straight up like I have it

And Ive been completely absorbed in The Walking Dead series on AMC ,so I slapped a couple of these on.

That's my new favorite show. And zombies are bound to end up taking over someday.

What if I leaned them back some ,it would probably fit better. Besides my shocks arent that fancy so it should work just fine. Now I just need to swipe a couple of those mounts.

J/W? did you make that steering shaft or did you buy it somewhere?

Appears to be the steering shaft off an early 90's jeep cherokee, it takes about 25 minutes to install and will work wonders of your steering. You can read up on it on ck5

Thanks for the tip!

It's a Borgeson steering shaft, not off a Jeep, but if a Jeep one will work do it I wanted to get rid of the rag joint and run full universal joints. I bought it from Summit Racing.

and the mounts are sold separately.

Yeah anything to get rid of that rag joint

It wasnt first on the to do list but the pic reminded me ,just something worth looking into.

Jeep xj has a double U joint style and works perfectly in out trucks with some minor modification.

I just got a steering u-joint off an 89 chevy van, it fit perfectly, I just had to shorten the stock shaft about 6 or 8".

Also, Ruff stuff makes shock towers. Very beef, very resonable $$, I think its the route Im going.

Ummm it bumped once not hard but its enough for me to look into an ord x member. And it was just a local machinest , I think he only charged me like 15 bucks. For not knowing what the hell I was talking about he did a good job.

Ummm it hasnt been an issue yet but its damn close. And it was just a local machinest , I think he only charged me like 15 bucks. For not knowing what the hell I was talking about he did a good job.
