I know what your saying. When I had it pivoted so the holes were really close for a bolt to go through, it wasn't "nested" up against the back of the OE mount. There is another bolt that you drill through the side that anchors the extension so it doesn't pivot. Just not really comfortable with relying solely on a single 5/16" bolt to keep my shock mount from moving.Maybe I saw a different brand but I thought these went flat-flat across the back side, then a hole was drilled for a separate bolt.
Second thought… looks like it’s close enough to just pivot down to line the current holes up. So what if the flat isn’t flat? It’s not going anywhere
Exactly what I thought you were thinking.im just not sure how much force would be applied without it butting up against the stock mount.You must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attach

Hmmm, now I’m no psychologist, but I don’t see a shock inputing enough force to sheer a grade 8 bolt. Especially not if it goes through both sides. MAYBE if the shock bottoms out before the springs do, but you'll probably have other issues if that happens LOLJust not really comfortable with relying solely on a single 5/16" bolt to keep my shock mount from moving.
Thanks! I just now found the arrow/line button!And nice markup skills!!! Way better than my squiggles.
I ain't no rocket surgeon either, and I'm sure your probably right, I'm more worried about the extension rotating I guess. And that relies on the little bolt on the side, and it being butted up against the factory mount. So my thought process is the more they are in contact, the less I have to worry about it rotating and snapping the little bolt.Hmmm, now I’m no psychologist, but I don’t see a shock inputing enough force to sheer a grade 8 bolt.

Wow. "Pound sand" doesn't come across as reassuring to spectators who might also be considering Belltech in the future. A company that take QA seriously would want to know why it doesn't fit right.Basically Belltech said we have sold and installed thousands of these and no one has ever had an issue. So feel free to modify it to make it work.
That's why I went with Belltech, they have been doing this a long time. Basically the OG's of lowering these trucks. Not a good feeling after spending $1600 on their kit. Had to tap one of the holes in the spindle to attach the brake shield as well. But as my buddy said, this is custom stuff, can't expect it to always fit right.Wow.
