use an idea for the shock mount, why not run the tube all the way through the frame so you can weld it on the backside and use a nut?
then redo it and use a smaller bushing you can tap dont rely on a 3/16" thick tap frame to hold in a 1/2" bolt, shit idk how you even tapped the frame to 1/2" thread after drilling a 1/2" hole in it
They didn't have any other bushings. This was all they had. The hole isn't actually 1/2" cause its the bit that came with the tap. And the threaded part is fine. Its not.like its supporting all the force. The bushing is.

:facepalm: in a perfect world those threads would last forever, this is the real world and you have that bolt in single shear, them thread gone rip out.

Well i honestly dont think it will. The bolt is such an exact fit in the bushing that ALL the bolt is holding is to the side of the frame. Tje compression and extension is supported by the 1/2" bolt that is being firmly hugged by 1/4" wall 2" long bushing.

hopefully those shocks are soft other wise i can see it eventually ripping off, its like a soda can tab, back and forth enough times, and snap
Ill look at what I can do. But tje bolt itself doesn't budge. Like at all. And the bushing is welded so... like I said if I can find the stuff I need ill redo it. Otherwise I honestly dont feel bad about this setup. Its a pretty solid setup. I mean nothing moves lol

u dont want the whole bushing tapped, you want like the last 3/4" or so tapped, the bushing is a good setup but you either need to put a helicoil in it to tap the last 3/4" or put a nut on the backside. It doesnt matter how good a fit the bushing is, since the top mount is in single shear your always going to see some kind of side load
a gusset setup would be nice, or better yet, drill the frame, then have the sleeve tapped and plug weld it to the inside side of the frame, then grind it smooth then weld the outside like you did, leaves a lot more material
Ashburn ok. I wasn't quite understanding you but I get what you are saying. So, like put a nut on the inside rail? That would make may bolt reaallllyy long like. 7"
