The Wide Open Design Short Lower Shock Tab provides a compact, heavy-duty mounting solution for shocks, limit straps, and other suspension components where space is limited. Designed for flat-surface mounting, these laser-cut tabs are ideal for axle housings, chassis rails, suspension brackets, and custom fabrication projects where a shorter mounting height is preferred. Manufactured from 1/4" high-strength plate steel, each tab is precision laser cut for consistent dimensions, accurate hole placement, and weld-ready installation. The compact design also makes these tabs an excellent choice for mounting limit straps, providing more surface area and strength than traditional small mounting tabs. These are the same fabrication tabs trusted in Wide Open Design's in-house chassis builds. Includes: (1) WOD Short Lower Shock Tab Note: Two tabs are required to mount one shock or suspension component.

Designed for weld-on installation to flat mounting surfaces. Use with 1/2" mounting hardware and appropriate spacers or misalignment spacers as required. Tech Insight Compact design for tight packaging The Short Lower Shock Tab is ideal anywhere suspension components need to be mounted in confined spaces. Its lower profile provides excellent clearance while maintaining the strength needed for demanding off-road applications. Excellent for limit strap mounting Unlike small generic tabs, the larger weld area provides greater strength when mounting limit straps that repeatedly absorb suspension loads. This makes the tab a popular choice for both shock and limit strap installations. Precision fabrication saves time Laser-cut construction ensures every tab is identical, resulting in proper shock alignment, easier fixture setup, and reduced fabrication time compared to hand-cut tabs. Built for off-road abuse Manufactured from 1/4" high-strength steel, these tabs are designed to withstand the repeated impacts, vibration, and suspension loads encountered in rock crawling, Ultra4 racing, and aggressive trail use.
