When I get my Jeep I'll take a look. Maybe we can work together on this. Even if you sent me a template (made out of something) I could then easily copy that with steal and fab them up.

Sounds good man. I can probably fab them up really quick out of wood

3/16 is probably plenty for prototypes. Or use 3/16 for the bent bracket that mounts to existing structure and weld on 1/4" for the shock tabs that stick out....
Edit: if i was making these for work.... 5/8" steel plate or bigger... lol
Holy crap 5/8 LOL I was going wheeling a few weeks ago and realized I didn't have a recovery point on my Jeep. So grabbed a 1" plate out of the bin and cut it into a square. Drilled a hole in it and stick welded it on my bumper with a 7018 rod. That entire Jeep could blow up fall down a mountain and that thing will still be their. Once I get my Jeep back these mounts will make more sense to me. I can't visualize how they can bolt on yet instead of welded on.
I'm watching on how this turns out as I am trying to figure where I want to my new shocks when I install the MOD SL at the end of the month.
