BTW... shock mount location did not require reinforcement... although I understand your concern. Both the spring and compression of the shock are sitting on the same two points...instead of the spring in the pocket and the shock on its mount, albeit hanging below it from two nuts.... Viking is confident that as long as the lower control arm is in good shape (pocket area is solid and as thick as spec) they would perform as specified. I will monitor the shock pocket going forward....but it looks solid.
