However, I'm not sure why they are welding inside the U on those ones.
Maybe it's just the weld penetrating through from the outside?

For what it's worth, I bought a set of these a few months ago and they looked nothing like these. The welds were nice and clean and the holes actually lined up. That doesn't look like Bills work.
Exactly. Have you guys seen some of the spot welds on standard eyelet shocks?x2 exactly what Justin said. I also agree that those are not Bill's welds... no way!
That said, I highly, highly doubt those would fail as shock mount.
Just my $.02

With all the experience and knowledge you have, Kenny, why did you not make your own shock mounts? Certainly you qualify as a dingbat, right?
That's not the point. The workmanship shows neither pride nor respect.
At least on mine, not a single one of the holes lined up, and they were way off; not just a little bit.
Screwing up a part every now and again happens, but when you actually ship it, and it's something you've clearly held in your hands, certainly long enough to see the problems?
That's just stupid.
I'm not going to get hung up on the "who welded what and when" nonsense, either. That's been bullshit for years.
This is not a bumper, it's not a roof rack, nor is it a rock slider. It is a simple shock mount and, regardless of who made it, the mount is sold as a Rovertym part. If they can't be bothered to police their image with a little QC, they've got the criticism coming.
I don't care how many people have owned, worked at, or welded for the company. That same excuse has been used for many, many years now.
Running a business is difficult. Finding some dingbat that can make a decent shock mount is not.
