Rich....I tried your suggestion, the welded pad doesnt sit on top of the wishbone, its just off to the side......also places the lower shock bolt hole further back, shock wont reach.....

Ok.......see if Y'all agree

I think the lower mounts are aftermarket perch bolts that were cut off.

Hopefully the pictures show the "serrations" I think were done by a cut off wheel.

My shocks measure about 14 1/2 from center to center......maybe too short and someone made them work with lower mounts they cut off.......people do weird shit

Flipped the sway bar end links.....I assume its in the correct position now.

Gives me room for a shock to clear everything. Will require about an 18 inch shock, which I think is correct.....

Was thinking the frame mount may need to slant rearward, I could swap sides, left to right
