Okay guys I am getting ready to start my next project, something I should have done a few months ago.

My front shocks are toooo long for the stock shock mounts, I knew this when I bought them because I planned to do this months ago.

My shocks will bottom out before I hit the bumpstops.
I need to install some F-250 shock mounts.

This requires cutting/grinding off the stock mount from the coil bucket, and drilling the frame to bolt on the new F-250 mounts. That part is easy.

Back in CO I would then head over to Brett's house to have him run a bead (weld) the new mount to the stock bucket, well since I moved to So Cal (San Juan Capistrano) I dont have any friends, let alone friends with a mig welder! hahaha so if anybody wants to run a couple beads for me or point me to a shop that would, I am all ears!!

Thanks!!!
 






Welcome to So Cal!!!! Enjoy it. I've been here 8 years and am actually leaving next week.

Anyway, in San Juan Capistrano you are kind of in-between everything. I know San diego. The place I like the best is ORW (Off Road Wherehouse). The closest to you is in Escondido. Not too close, maybe 45 minutes?

I like them but they have never done any actual work for me. I have done all mine myself but they are at least very helpful with parts and the qoutes I have received have seemed reasonable.

Hey, while your here, don't miss going out to Anza-borrego Desert. I'm going again in a few days. Its awesome. Check out this site: http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/1600/

Good Luck and enjoy the sun!!!
 






There are also 4 Wheel Parts stores in the area.
