There a few reasons outboard shock mounts on TJs/LJs/YJs/CJs have become so popular:
Allows for longer shocks for more travel/performance (even when moving the lower shock mounts up above the bottom of your axle tube for ground clearance)
Saves a lot of space when using coilovers as opposed to separate shocks and coils; allowing for more ideal mounting of bumpstops, limit straps, and other suspension components even when stretching your wheelbase
Doesn't require cutting into the tub/wheel wells; leaving your cargo and passenger space intact!
Next Venture's outboard shock mounts are designed with the fabricator in mind; but that doesn't mean we didn't include a 14 gauge steel template to attach to the frame and guide your cuts/shock placement. Included front and rear formed gussets tie this monster 1/4" steel shock tower into the frame unlike any other rear outboard mounts available. *included template/guide doesn't apply to YJ/CJ models*
All components laser cut and CNC formed from 1/4" steel
Allows for use of 2" coilover shocks or 2.5" shocks
Wheel spacers or wheels with a wider stance may be required depending on your axle width, suspension travel, and tire size in order to avoid tire/shock contact.
Fuel Filler and some evap components may require relocation.
Cutting into the frame is required to "french" the mounts into the frame (cutting template included)
Required welding should be done by a competent welder/shop.
