i didn't like how the notch was sitting on my axle when the truck is laid out so i notch the notch 3/4 of an inch and cut a bracket and welded a nut on one side and ended up using some old bump stops i just cut them down to half of inch aprox so the axle dont hit the notch metal to metal and use the bracket to box it back in....... no fancy tools here so bare with me guys.

i also decided to make the wife some metal high heels that way they will last her for a long time lol.....

...made a lower bag template and started cutting....

luifer76 · 02-08-2013, 12:07 AM

more pics...... the mounts are gonna get fully boxed in once i get to weld them to the axle and they also gonna be reenfoced from the side by welding metal piping from the mounts to the axle....
