I got my 63" Chevy`s from a guy parting out an `89 1/2ton pickup. For $50 I had to take them off myself so i torched the mounts right off the frame. Worked out good because I modded the stock chevy mount with some plate steel that was lying around. For the rear I used the stock chevy shackle and just made my own mount out of angle iron.

For the front I used the Ford mounts an they work great with Rancho 5012s or 9012s.

It`s just roughed-in there for fitment. For my truck, the bottom of the mount needed to be flush with the top of the frame.

I used the factory shock mount on the axle for the lower.

For the rear I chose the same Rancho 5012s that I have up front but they are so long that I needed to fab a new upper mount. Even with a 2" BL, the lower shock mount is almost in the stock location and not on top of the axle where I really wanted it.

Yeah it looks very bootyfab but it works fine and was super cheap to make.
