Last post, detail of the front shock brackets. First photo is driver's side, second photo is passenger side.

The upper bracket mounts directly to the existing mounting holes for the old shock absorber. The lower bracket mounts to the front axle via the hole drilled earlier.

The one thing I'll say about the lower bracket is that, because the shock is positioned right next to the axle bolt, and because with my weak front spring I didn't have much room to compress the shock, I had to mount the shock to the bracket before mounting the bracket to the axle, and this also meant that I had to put the bolt head on the rear side and the nut on the front side, which I would've preferred not to do. It was very awkward to get everything tightened down. If your front spring is in better shape, you may not have this problem.
