Does the shock not take a huge load, is that why that thin metal is strong enough?
The shock does see a good bit of load, but it is in-line with the shock body, not lateral. The bracket does look mousy, but there is no side to side load on it. It is boxed at the bottom, which is not shown in the pic. It would be thicker if I had made it......
