thanks,
Took alot of effort to place the shock in perfect spot for this setup! I had originally built plates for it, then i went back and trimmed a 1/2 coil of the springs, which affected how the sat in the car (not as bent on full extension), and allowed me to move the shock again for more travel, hence the new tabs, and more grinding.

then i welded stainless locking nuts on the top of the tabs so that i wouldnt need to go through the same pains to install the bolts/nuts as i had previously done.

What brand of shock are you trying to install? Who built them for you.
