i have a set of zeemering shocks(or however you prunounce it)to fit to my build they are the right length but the metalastic bush on eather end is only about an inch wide,do you pack the brackets with washers or make the brackets to suit.has anyone had the same problem? also when offering the shocker up to where it is to be mounted it looks like it may catch the chassis with the cup part that compresses the spring has anyone any ideas or measurements

I made brackets to fit the shocks and mounted them on the side of the top rail. They clear the rail and fit through the top wishbone alright.

yours, Pete.

Mine are all packed out with 8mm washers
not sure if its correct but it works

did you have any trouble at the back end with the shocker catching on the frame

I put them either side of the eyes on each end of the shocks. I think the bolts I used were 3/8". I welded the brackets on after I got the shocks in place so they cleared everything.

yours, Pete.
