I need to know the width of the stock lower shock mount
I have shocks the are 1.5" the shock mount is only 1.25"

 

I think you mean length not width .. right ?

The front lower mount width

 

It is not the shocks but the bushings.

You have 2 choices trim the bushings down to fit in your brackets.

I have done this over the years on shocks that fit several applications

Number 2 make new brackets and weld them on.

 

With that much of a difference in mounting tab width, I wouldn't recommend trimming the bushings. You could, but it wouldn't leave you with much bushing left between the shock and the mount. If you can't return the shocks and get the right ones, then I would go with option #2 like Wyoming said - weld on new brackets. It's pretty simple to do yourself if you can weld, or any metal shop should do it for next to nothing for you.

What brand shocks are you trying to install? And how much lift do you have? I likely have some part numbers for Bilsteins, Old Man Emu and Ranchos if you are looking to find the appropriate shock.

 

a ha, I was thinkin rear .....

you may also try spreading the mounts

I got the shock installed i decided to cut the bushing down to the same width as the metal sleeve that goes inside them

 

That'll do!
