Rear shock mount problem

[radio2000]

The '88 Burb was riding a little odd the other day. Checked it out and noticed that the upper shock bolt had ripped up out of the shock mount. Anyone else experienced this?

Many many times in the early 80's with my '78 Heavy Half 'Jump Truck'. Lots of ways to fix it. I ended up fish plating the section of frame where the mount was getting torn off.

Preciate that, but... "Does not fit K30's or Suburbans."

Wow your right i just assumed they would be the same as a k10 or 20 my bad. Still could make something similar im assuming? once mount is repaired

I’d say I’m sorry, but I’m not. What a chinsy looking piece of crap for $40. It appears they spent seconds engineering that turd.

Idk maybe there’s a body mount there. My burbs gonna have 1 ton shock mounts on the inside.

These look nice, but this is below the original mounting point, right?

This is how mine is mounted, but the failure is much worse.

That looks in about the original mounting point.
