Factory lower shock brackets hang low, bend easy, and tear off at the worst possible time. Artec Industries' High Clearance Shock Brackets replace them with weld-on 1/4" steel mounts shaped to tuck the shock eye up tight against the axle tube, out of reach of rocks and ledges. Each bracket uses a free-floating internal tab that you weld in position, so the mount matches your shock width instead of forcing spacers. Engineered from 3D scan files and CNC laser cut and bent, they are a staple on Jeep CJ, YJ, TJ, JK, and JL axles as well as one-ton swap housings.
Features
- Heavy 1/4" steel — several times the thickness of stamped factory mounts
- Low-profile, high-clearance shape keeps the shock eye tucked above rock strikes
- Free-floating internal tab welds in place to fit shock widths up to 1.25"
- Adapts to axle tubes from roughly 2.5" to 3.5" diameter with end trimming
- CNC laser cut and CNC bent from 3D scan engineering for a clean wrap on the tube
- Sold as a pair; bare steel, made in the USA
Because these are universal weld-on mounts, plan to cut off the old brackets, prep the tube, and have a competent welder burn these in — then prime and paint before the shocks go back on. Measure your axle tube diameter and shock width before ordering. They pair naturally with frame-side Shock Towers on a full custom setup, or with the TJ 8.8 swap OEM shock mounts on axle-swap builds. Reinforcing the housing at the same time? See the Front Axle Truss for TJ, LJ, ZJ and the full range of shock mounts and brackets.

High Clearance Shock Brackets (Pair) FAQs
What axles will these fit?
They are universal weld-on brackets that adapt to axle tubes from roughly 2.5" to 3.5" in diameter when the bracket ends are trimmed to match. That covers common Jeep CJ, YJ, TJ, JK, and JL axles plus one-ton swap housings. Measure your tube diameter before ordering.
How does the shock attach, and what widths work?
Each bracket uses a free-floating internal tab that you position and weld to match your shock, accommodating shock eye widths up to 1.25". That lets one bracket design fit a wide range of aftermarket shocks without spacers.
Is welding required, and how should I finish them?
Yes — you cut off the existing mounts, grind the tube smooth, position the brackets, and weld them in place, so this is a job for a competent welder or an off-road shop. The brackets ship in bare steel, so prime and paint them after welding and before reinstalling the shocks.
