Yeah, those are kind of a pain. You have to bend the flat part of the tube over, so it will face back when it's bolted to the top of the shock. I tried bolting it on then hammering it back, but the angle is weird and it wasn't working. I found it was easier to put them in a vise and get the angle close and then keep tweeking them until they fit.

They mount like 2gr8dgs does, except I drilled through both the tubes and bolted the brackets to the bumper instead of welding them.

Is this one better or worse than the others?
Mine (I think) attaches to the framehorns on the bottom....I can't find a decent pic of it right now...

The top of mine:

Ties into the rear of my cage:

Thanks i got the mounts and installed them,not bad went on good with a little persuasion(hammer).I was just confused at the fact that i had the wrong mounts.luckily i had to remove the shock bolt because the bolt was so loose it was about to fall out Shocked
