I bought a pair of the new, custom fabricated rear trailing arms from Appletree. (stock size, length etc.)
Overall build quality/welding is very good and I'm happy.
BUT
They don't come with shock mounts.
Does ANYONE have some pictures or recommendations on how they are added?
Just a normal rear end on a new ACME chassis.
I'd rather not have to assemble everything twice or three times with fabrication, welding and powder coating.
THANKS!

Welded in parallel to the pivot bolt. Sounds like you are wanting to skip a proper mock up. If it was easy, everybody would do it.
