Re: SiX-fo SuBuRbAn

I added this brace that supports the spring hangers, it took up 1 whole box of bolts by itself! I had to cut the inner support , and break out the arc welder and change the angle that it hits the frame -64 is tapered, 88 is parallel-
got the spring hangers bolted on, had to trim them down a bit and put in some new holes to fit them on the shorter 64 frame.
found a good place to mount the shock inside the pass. frame rail, on the old spring perch. the driver side one mounts outside the frame.

three 25 count boxes of bolts, so that means close to 75 rivets taken out and 150 holes drilled!!!, I guess thats not counting the rivets on stuff that just had to come off the 64 frame... add another 20-25!!
