Re: what are you guys running for front suspensions
You can buy new spring plates from a number of different places (offroaddesign, diy4x, partsmike, and many others) that are made from 3/8" thick steel plate. These would be much easier to work with to to make a lower shock mount. Some people use ford f250/f350 upper shock mounts. They are easy to bolt or weld right onto the side of the frame in lieu of doing full shock hoops. Personally I would weld the shock tabs further out than the spring plates. I'd weld them onto the axle tube where it meets the C.
