Shock brackets

Do the front lower shock mounts stick up or down where they attatch to the radius arm? I've got to start taking pictures of this stuff before I take it apart.

Bear,
I'll bet you could flip that bracket either way depending on the ride height of your coils. I found that many different applications for the same part can be used when modifing factory intent.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 16-Aug-02 AT 09:07 PM (EST)]Dang, a picture really is worth a thousand words. Thanks both of you. That might soften up my ride if I turn em back over.

I guess with a stock, a longer or a shorter shock and turning the bracket you could really get you shock centered after altering things.

Hope to post some pics of my ride soon.
