Ford 8.8 Swap OEM Shock Mounts (Pair) for Jeep Wrangler TJ 1997-2006

When you swap a Ford 8.8 rear axle under a Jeep Wrangler TJ, the shocks still need to land in the stock location — and these Artec Industries mounts put them there. They are the exact driver- and passenger-side shock mounts from Artec's TJ 8.8 swap kit, sold separately by request for builders piecing a swap together or replacing damaged brackets. Each mount is 1/4" boxed steel plate, cut to wrap the 8.8's 3.25" axle tubes and position the shock in the OEM under-tube location.

Features

• 1/4" boxed steel plate construction for strength and impact resistance
• 1.375" mounting width with a 1/2" bolt hole fits standard shocks
• Cut to wrap the Ford 8.8's 3.25" diameter axle tubes
• Locates shocks in the factory under-tube position for correct geometry
• Same mounts included in Artec's full TJ 8.8 swap kit
• Adaptable to other axle tube sizes with minor modification; sold as a pair

These are weld-on brackets: position each mount with about a 1/2" gap to the lower control arm bracket, rotate to roughly 74 degrees from level, weld in place, then prime and paint the bare steel. If welding is not your strength, have an off-road shop install them. Building the whole swap? Start with the TJ 8.8 Swap Kit with Truss and matching OEM LCA brackets, or step up to High Clearance Shock Brackets if you want the shocks tucked higher. More options in shock mounts and brackets.
