Sry few days late on finding this but i have made my own before with absolute scrap from steel yard using nuts welded on pipe for thread adjustment and a piece of triangular plate with holes drill in them and worked pretty good for what i had in it..

but since then i have become a supervisor in a machine shop so i have alot more capabilities on building stuff n wanted to share my latest set on my wifes truck with you guys ...










The only thing i dont like about them is i didnt make the aluminumn bushing, just use good ole grinder n grinded down the ears on the factory bushing in the leaf. lithiem grease takes care of the squeeks most of the time..

You need to put misalignments on your heims...they are going to bind the way you have them...looks great though...I used a teflon washer for similar shackle brackets and they worked great for the noise..

The real term is high misalignent spacers.. They slide in on either side of the heim hole allowing the use of a smaller diameter bolt and the hiem gets more rotation before hitting the spacer..Just a better way of doing it

i like the bracket made for the eye of the leaf .

why not just use a new shock mount instead of the relocator? could also get them more perpendicular if you were to do this.

Okay, that makes sense. I hadn't heard that term before.
