This is my latest Ford truck after years of Fords, However it's my 1st F350 and Dually. Love the 460 power. Although it has a new motor with 7K miles and rebuilt tranny, and runs great, it still looks like it has been road hard. My wife thinks it's the ugliest truck I've ever had. This week end as I was under the truck removing the 5th Wheel hitch plate from the bed, I noticed the passenger side lower shock mount broke and the shock hanging. Closer inspection showed all the rear shock mounts holes were egged out and worn. Looks like I can get bolt on replacements for the top mounts, but the bottom mounts are welded to the axle. Anybody know were I can get new weldable brackets? Or would I just be better off to to do a fab weld repair? Is there some kind of aftermarket swap out that might work better?

 

What did u ever find out about the lower shock mounts. I have same problem on a diff I just pulled out. I think I goin to build my own, stock ones look kinda weak to start with

 

Universal shock mounts

Yes I know it has been a year. But for any one else that comes across this thread. Jeff's bronco graveyard Rear Shock Mounts (Lower) Cheaper than the universal and looks like it is probably stronger. I have not ordered mine yet. I just found I need them 2 days ago.

 

FYI, they are the Same mount
