Default 07 1500 4.7 Rear Shock Mount Issue

Bought a 07 1500 with 4.7 with only 93k miles beginning of year. Found out within last couple weeks there was only one shock in the rear on passenger side. Found out why when I noticed the upper mount bracket on the frame for drivers side shock was just got, rusted off I assume. What options do I have to fix? Contacted my local dealer and they say they can’t fix it. Any help appreciated.

Machine or welding shop to fabricate one.

Thanks for answering. That was what my next guess would’ve been. Only question is will they just have to use the passenger side one for reference?

They have different mounts. Passenger side top of shock angles towards the front. Drivers side top angles towards the rear. Not the best picture.

Yeah I figure they could base the angle off the bottom mount on the axle.
