The questions: 1.) Is there any variation of spacer or something that could make this wheel work with stock tie rods? 2.) The new shock ends are heim jointed ends, so there has to be something fabricated to mount them (upper mount). We were thinking about something similar to a first-gen mustang or falcon shock tower, since they are a little longer than stock. But I'm open to any input and and suggestions you may have. Fabrication isn't really an issue, it's just trying to find the proper setup for this.
1) You will need to use spacers or alter the track width of the brake hubs/rear axle to allow these wheels to work.
2) Lower mount should bolt on with a proper shouldered bolt. Upper mounts just need a saddle to mount the rod end, then weld or bolt the saddle to the stock mount are. You'll give up about an inch of travel to do this. Go here: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/ search afco universal shock mount. That's what you need.
