SHOCK BOSSES

Technical Mounting for Custom Builds Our inventory features various configurations to match your specific hardware and fabrication goals:

• Threaded and Unthreaded Options: We stock both threaded shock bosses (available in 12mm and 1/2" sizes) and unthreaded versions. Threaded bosses allow for a clean, nut-free installation, while unthreaded options are ideal for use with through-bolts and locking nuts in high-vibration off-road applications.

• Versatile Lengths and Diameters: Choose between 1-3/4" and 2" lengths to achieve the necessary offset for your shock bodies and coil springs. These dimensions ensure proper clearance throughout the suspension’s cycle, preventing binding and component interference.

• Heavy-Duty Fabrication Quality: Manufactured from weldable high-tensile steel, our bosses are designed for deep penetration and a permanent bond to your chassis or suspension components. This is essential for sand rails and Baja Bugs that face the constant stress of rough terrain and high-impact landings.

• Essential Mounting Hardware: Complete your installation with our high-strength 12mm shock bolts. We provide the specific lengths needed to secure your shocks through custom bosses, ensuring your suspension remains tight and secure.

The Professional Edge in Custom Suspension Utilizing a dedicated shock boss rather than a simple tab or makeshift bracket provides a much larger surface area for welding and a more stable support for the shock eyelet. This reduces the risk of mount failure and chassis fatigue over time. Sourced from trusted fabrication specialists, these bosses are the industry standard for builders who refuse to compromise on structural integrity.
