    Does anybody know if there is a custom bracket I can buy to mount 2 eye shocks on the rear of our trucks.

    What do you have for rear suspension that would require spherical bearing mount shocks like that?

    There are stem to eyelet adapters out there if you really wanted. I wouldn't recommend them though.

    i have stock suspension other than a 2 inch block and the rear shocks sometimes max out over large bumps. just have some of that type of shock laying around and was wondering if there would be an easy way to use them instead of buying new shocks.

    it will be much easier to just buy proper shocks.

    If you have stock shocks and a 2" block, you're most likely topping out, not bottoming out. At ride height, your shocks are almost maxed out, so coming off the back end of bumps when the suspension unloads, you could just be hitting max extension.

    I would start buy getting the appropriate shocks in there. If your budget is tight, these will get the job done in the 10.5" flavor.

    Or your leafs are worn out from the blocks and are sagging and you are indeed bottoming out because you have minimal up travel. If that is the case, you'll need more than just shocks.

    topping out is what I meant and thank you for the reference.
