8.8 shock mount mounting

[Jackrabbit41]

Where in the axle tube up and down should the shock mounts be? Do I weld them on when the trucks weight is On the axle ? How extended should the shock be? Thanks. I'm SOA and I have bilsteins and the ruff stuff simple swap shock mounts

if you already have your shocks, then you know your maximum measurement.  now you need to get the suspension to drop fully down and see where your maximum shock extension point lines up on the axle tube.  then get your suspension to fully compress and see if you need to add bumpstop length to keep the shock from bottoming out.
