Default finished lowering

Your exactly right!! I flipped those brackets around to where I could still use them for the belt adjuster nuts to catch on and 1 set of the holes lined up with the factory shock mount holes to provide some of spacing needed at the bottom of the shock. I had to add 1 small washer at the top and 1 washer at the bottom. I also had to use slightly longer bolts at the bottom.

I'm glad you've seen those brackets used before since I thought they were oem equipment. I'm sure it was hard for most of u guys to know what I was talkin about but I had no idea it had already been lowered. Thanks for all the help!!

I'll stick some pics in here soon.....the paint and body work is nearly done and I can start puttin her back together......successfully lowered for free hopefully!!!
