Coil Over Conversion Installed

That sounds like the way to go. I mean you arent baja racing the thing so as long as you keep and eye on it I think it will be fine. If ridetech uses it then it shouldnt be a problem.

Ridetech is a very reputable company and alot of people swear by their products... I cant see them using a factory mount that is known to be a weak point. Now, I know things can wear out and break over time, but im thinking they have done plenty of r&d on this mount if they attach their airbag shock to it

And the tabs on my djm lower look to be 1/4 and welded on there pretty good. To me, they look beefier than the pro comp adapters that will be supporting the top

Sounds to me like you have it figured out. Time to bite the bullet. 1/4" isnt that thick. I would think 3/8" to 1/2" would give more peace of mind.

Just when I start feeling good about something I get second guessed

Well it would be extremely easy to weld an extra piece of steel there to brace it a bit

I know a guy that makes a 3/8" steel bracket that fits perfectly right there if you want to weld it on...

LoL but it wont fit on the djm arms

Dude, swap out those djm arms for the stockers and make the swap easier. I bet you could get a quick turnaround selling the djm arms on here.

I was talking about the upper reinforcement bracket that fits in the shock pocket.

We were talking about the lower mount on the DJM arms.

I still say it would easier to cut off the lower shock mount off the DJM arms and fab up a new lower shock mount from 3/8 or 1/2 mild steel, as opposed to trying to brace the stock one. Plus the arms are powdercoated so you will have to grind off all the existing powdercoat to get any kind of decent *********** with the welds.
