That's a good idea, thanks. I wasn't sure if this was possible, but I'll give it a try the next time I replace my shocks.

I finally ended up going with the stone-shield-removal option rather than cutting a new hole in my crossmember. I didn't trust my engineering decisions, and decided I had more confidence in modifying...

Well, I guess that's a whole other topic :) I'm using these OMEs because they're sold by Sportsmobile. And I've already have a spare set of new ones queued up I got cheap from someone.

My main concern is not doing anything that would lead to other issues down the road (or out in the field). When I'm not familiar with a system, I'm wary about changing it.

Yeah, that would be simpler in some ways. The shield is pretty beefy metal, but I'm pretty sure I could take it off with 10 minutes of angle grinding.

I think I've figured out what the bushing part I need is called: a "shock mount isolator", such as the Motorcraft AD-947 (https://www.stockwiseauto.com/motorcraft-ad947-shock-mount).

Thank you!

Would you place the new hole overlapping the old one slightly, perhaps by a quarter inch?

Otherwise any new hole would start to be in the crease part of the crossmember that...
