    Been searching around a bit, and have yet to find some good pix of front shock mounts. Does anyone have any links to some pix on stock control arms?

    Also, anyone installed these things from suicide doors? I'm trying to figure out if they would make sense for our trucks.

    what are you trying to find out about the front shock mounts? one big hole the shock goes through, 2 small holes for the bolts.

    I think he means for a bagged setup. And yes that kit will work.

    You would weld it to the side of the frame rail with the mounting hole pointed up. The lower bolt is either bolted through the LCA or welded fast depending on the style of bolt supplied with the kit. It looks as if those bolt through the side of the LCA.
