Where should the lower rear shock absorber mount be on a 51 GMC 1/2 ton? Is the mount attached to the front or rear U-Bolt on the leaf spring. Even though the upper mount on the frame looks like it is angled towards the rear u bolt on the spring, the shock absorber is only long enough to reach the front U-bolt, leading me to believe that that is its location. Is this correct?

It attaches near the forward U-bolt.
