I have the mounts for "kicker" shocks, that bolt to the top of the spring plate and go vertically to the frame (need to drill 3 holes). As for shocks you use the same PN as the steering stabilizer, at least for Rancho. I'll send them to you for shipping only.

As to your other question, my trucks/suv's have always used Rancho or Bilstein.

the kicker shock helps with wheel hop i think

i plan to build a traction bar that bolts to the frame

so the kicker shock would not work for me but thanks for the offer
