[QUOTE="Zoediak, post: 913900, member: 17077"] and yes... the ends will be closed, but not til after the hole is cut and plated for the fairleads, this way I can blow out any material left inside the square tube. we have it mocked up right now with the spring hangers 'C' clamped to the frame rails so we can get it sitting just right. Currently there is very little weight on the frame rails (engine is lifted off the frame) so the hangers don't show how they will actually sit. we lefted the rear up so we could get an idea of how it will sit... it is looking to be about 7 inches higher than it was sitting with the flat weak old springs. It is looking pretty sweet!! there will be reinforcing plates on each side of the frame around the mounting areas. I still have to fab up some new engine mounts, so we have been tossing around the ideas of tossing in a V8, since I have some laying around and one is already mated to a granny low 4 speed and an adapter for the xfer case...hmmm gets one to thinking... but, we are not done yet.... so there is still pleanty of time and the last picture..well... ummm... all I can say is he was so excited on how it is progressing he had to 'hump' it!!:haha: [/QUOTE]
