Default Is this part replaced w new OME suspension kit?

This rusty & disintegrated piece of the front shock mount looks pretty rough. How much of this is included in a suspension kit if I buy the OME medium duty kit? If it isn’t included what part(s) are needed?







I will regularly have 5 passengers and a brush guard so I figured medium would be best, or should I go heavy duty?

Best place to buy the OME kit?

I have a clunk on the front driver’s side over low speed bumps which I figure is a ball joint, wondering if I should do that and other suspension bushings at the same time or if it doesn’t matter, or what bushings kit might be the best?

The rusty piece is called a Shock Tower, and they have a particular angle for right and left sides. They are available to buy, along with the mounting hardware that is probably all rusted out underneath. Some folks offer beefed up aftermarket units, or special for lifted trucks. The other bushings could be done at a different time without duplicating effort. Good luck!

All new hardware (nuts, washers, bushings) should be included in the package with your shocks.
