Did you swap the spring pads so the shock mounts are still on top of the spring?

When I was running the stock zuk axles I had Petro works lower shock mounts front and rear,an adjustable rear upper mount,and Ford F250 front upper mounts.Flex your axles every which direction and measure the stuff and droop and then call a 4x4 shop that has shock info.

I would say the stock shocks if you are reusing the ubolt plate mounts.

Ah, now I can see the pictures!
What Johnny Rash said. If you swap your spring pads from left to right that will put your shock mounts in roughly the same spot as shock. Then you can just go down to your local auto parts store and order a set of stock shocks for a Samurai. Get the cheap ones, otherwise they tend to be to stiff.
