Hi Rob
The shock arm looks considerably different from the ones on my `45 HUP if I remember correctly your has different spring mounts and springs. The picture below shows the left front link on my HUP which is about 7” long between the centers just in passing the rear arms are about 10 ½”. Are these shocks the ones that came on the truck, in other words is the problem a assembly problem or parts matching problem? Something looks wrong in the angle of the link down from the end of the shock arm to the axle bracket. I’ve posted a bunch of shots of the shocks and links on my web page.
