    Geez, I never had any stinkin' shock extentions back in the day.I just added more air to the air shocks until I drove one of them clean through the trunk floor. :cry:

    In what way or ways could you strenthen up these mounting points.

    I think I remember hearing someone say something about a bar the went acrosss the truck to ditribute the pressure

    You can take a solid piece of 1/4" flat bar and punch the shock mount holes and sandwich that between the mounts and floor, that'll take care of the extra load. I had air shocks on my 67 Stang for years and never had problems with the top's, they were already thru the floor (stud on top and bottom)
