I only wish the carrier bearing mount for the center brace was between the ladder bar perches. In order to use the two piece drive shaft I have I will have to weld a brace in.
I'm in the process of tacking on the air bag brackets to the axle. This might be a dumb question, but what is considered ride height? How many inches from the bottom of the frame to the ground? (front and rear if possible) I am running Porterbuilt mild dropmember in both the front and rear mild. Thanks
