Mystery Bracket under the bed?

[Vladiator]

Found a mystery bracket under the bed.

just got the truck lifted and was doing an inspection when I found a bracket.

From my ground view it’s right between the exhaust and driveshaft.
What is it for?

Shock mount for rear differential shock absorber.

Thanks for this. Was trying to find it earlier.
Seems like I don’t need the shock for an automatic transmission.

That would make a great place to mount a go-pro when you're going off-road. It's pretty protected but it would get some neat shots.

No, but think the fun you could have with a mechanic telling him your differential stabilizer is making funny noises.......

I have the shock set up on my 20 Sport S manual. Saw it when I first brought her home.
