Description
This lower link bracket with shock mount is a weld-on axle-side bracket that handles two jobs at once — suspending your lower links and mounting your shocks — on a 3-link or 4-link build. Laser-cut from 1/4″ HRPO steel and CNC bent for shape and strength, sold as a pair.
Specs
- Material: 1/4″ HRPO steel
- Rod end hole: 9/16″ — drill it out larger if your rod end requires it
- Shock tab hole: 1/2″
- Axle tube fitment: Designed for 3.25″ axle tubing; fits down to 3″ axle tube without modification. With some trimming, it will fit up to a 4″ axle tube.
- Sold as: Pair
- Made in the USA
Mounting Width Options
2″ width — fits common 3/4″ and 7/8″ rod ends. So, for most lighter 3-link and 4-link builds running standard-size heim joints, this is the right call.
2.625″ width — designed around 1-1/4″ rod ends for heavier-duty applications. Built with an offset into the shock tab, so you can run your shocks inward or outward by simply flipping the tabs. When axle space is tight, that adjustability matters.
Angle Options
Choose 0°, 10°, or 20° depending on your suspension geometry. Since every build is different, the angle options let you mount your links and rod ends in the right position rather than fighting geometry. Pick the degree that puts your joints closest to neutral at ride height. 10° is the most common.
Install
The bracket welds directly onto the axle tube. The base ships flat — tack the sides to the axle, bend the tab around the tube, and finish weld it. That wrap-around weld puts a skid plate right under your rod end, so the bracket protects your link as much as it mounts it all while adding strength.
The solid base and curved fit sit flush against the tube — clean enough to look factory once it’s in.
Why the Integrated Shock Mount Matters
Running a lower link bracket with shock mount means one bracket does both jobs. So instead of welding a separate shock tab onto your axle, everything comes pre-positioned and engineered to work together. That’s particularly useful on builds where axle real estate is limited. The shock tab sits slightly below axle centerline, which keeps your shock clear while still giving you a solid mount point.
If you don’t need the shock mount, our Lower Link Bracket is the same bracket without it. For just the shock tabs, you can find those here. Looking for a lower frame side bracket? Check out our Angled Link Brackets.
