yeah but isn't he talking about how one shock is mounted in frount of the diff housing and the other is at the back of the diff housing. ie not both at the front, or both at back?
like satndard lux.
not sure from memory if hilux shock mounts are on the plate or on the actual diff housing, but standard is behind the diff on the left, and infront on the right.

The rear shock mounts on my hilux were on the spring retaining pads.
Look at the Bib Balls website, they sell Hilux weld on lower shock mounts, just weld them to the diff tube.
