So yesterday I installed the Trail Gear rear U-Bolt Flip kit on my '79 long bed. Of course now I no longer have a bottom mounting point for my rear shocks.
What solutions are available to let me mount my rear shocks again? Any thoughts, photos or advice are appreciated.
Thanks!

i have some of those, but the way the shocks angle up towards the center of the bed like this / \ (if viewed from behind the truck), its gonna take some grinding to get the mounts to sit at that angle on the axle. those would work great on the newer trucks where the shocks angle forward or back, not toward the center (if that makes sense...)
anyway, im headed back to the shop to work some more tonight, i'll try to figure something out.
thanks

Shock mount bolts in between the spring and axle and has the proper bolt orientation for angled-in shocks:

I'm going to use Sky's shock mount kit.
