Nice! Where did you get those from?
Brian, rod end clamp's came from Icon Vehicle Dynamics's (formally Don-o-hue Racing).

btw not to sound like a smartass... but i actually liked the first "double shear" shock mount a lot better then the second one (or is there a part missing on the second design?)
Stephan, no missing part, but like Tbar said, much easier to remove since they are so close together.
The three little birds perched by doorstep said ney IZwack, ney -- for they are air rams, not bypass shocks.
Thats even more amazing! Can't wait to see it go up and down

i guess i`m just from a different offroad world
thinking about it i guess single shear is fine on a rockcrawler (i guess you have mainly slow shock speeds and you dont see the high G forces we see in the high speed compressions or jumps)

Single shear is not fine for a rock crawler. Let us know how long they last before the brackets rip off.

LOL ..... IMHO a harsh post like that makes you look like a smartass
but i agree: i personally would feel better when them nice big Kings would be supported by shear force and not relay on the bending strength of the bolt (or at least i would replace the 1/2" reducer bushings and run 5/8" bolts together with spacers that are welded to the base plate)
but hey...this is the internet: 5 peeps = 7 opinions :
Paul, i hear ya on the easy access.... on my cars there is usually so much stuff and everything is crowded so tight together that you have to remove the bypass shocks to access the pre-load ring on the coilovers ....
a pain in the rear ... but at least after you finally set your ride height there is no need to remove them anymore
Hey Boys.....Paul was mistaken and what you see is only the first plate of much more to lock in each shock. I changed the direction of the bolt so when I valve I can just remove one and not both shocks. The other way I would have to pull the RAM and then the C/O not cool when in the field.
