I sprayed on "Kleen-Strip Prep-n-Etch" to remove all the grease, oil, and blood and prep the metal for primer. Its phosphoric acid you can buy at any home depot in the paint section. Nasty stuff, but it ensures a good paintable surface.

After reinstalling the rear axle with the new track bar brackets installed it was time to start on the track bars themselves.

I boxed the frame on both sides just above and behind the rear axle and fabricated a shock mount bar to fit my rear shocks. No need for asymmetrical shocks since i plane to build track bars for the rear.

Welded on new rear shock mounts for the rear axle. Both shocks will be behind the axle rather than asymmetrical like the stock set-up.
