Found these on eBay usa
Any one over here in aus make them?
My shocker bolts are threaded one snapped off
I've researched the replacing with bolts idea but I like these brackets for long term reliability

These look pretty simple to make, you just need to be aware of the reduced travel afforded by the spacer at the top...

its the bump stops will be more inportant to space down than to lift it more

I need the brackets to fix broken bolts
Not to extend my shockers...

Can't remember 100 percent but when the bolts shore on my rear shocks I did a bit of reading. Result was to pull up the carpet & cut a hole with angle grinder in floor pan to get access to the shock mounts and could then smash off cold chisel) the old spot welded nuts and replace the whole lot with decent bolts then run a bead of silicone around the cuts, and put the carpet back over the top.
Took me about an hour to do, but the article said about halfa.. I think second time around you could do it in that time :-)
Reason for this ramble is that it looks like you have to pull up the carpet and drill holes to attach the mount in the first place, which is probably about the same amount of effort..?
Have fun!
