Question Front steering shock?

https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...&albumid=15527

at my gallery, I have since removed the front shock for the steering stabalizer that was attached to the drag arm.

question is, is that right for the shock to be at such an angle and if not what would be the best thing to do, custom make a bracket for the truck or leave it off?

It should be on the same angle as the steering rod it is attached to. I would keep it on. It dampens all the road and trail shock, making the steering components last longer.

Question front sway bar shock

you stated to have the shock at the same angle as the drag link arm...question is how can that be done if there is not a place to attach the bracket?

any thoughts?

Good Camping

That angle looks a little goofy to me too but I'm not really too familiar with how they do things on the TTB axles. In any event having it at an angle like that should not affect the dampening capabilities of the shock. You should be good to go.
