Once the rear diff was completed then it was time to mate it to the 4-links and place the diff in the frame. After checking the rear diff travel (which was perfect) then I needed to add an upper mount for the shocks.
I had some square tubing that I cut out the lower tubing wall and the side walls and welded in some 3/16” thick plate at the proper width (in the two side walls) for the upper shock bolt to mount thru. I then welded the upper shock support between the two step notches as shown. I then mounted the shocks and cycled the rear suspension travel to re-check it for binding and such...it was all good.
