Got my bender now too. Started bendeing up some sliders and what not its coming along finally! Ill get some pics as soon as I get a charger for my camera.
 
Got any more pics or specs on the front spring hangar? Looking to do something similar to mine in the near future.
 
Yes progress is being made. Got the bender and welder. Need to get pics from a good camera, mine is down and out right now. It will be done very soon. Ive been working on it after work, but this last week ive been sick as a dog. I do have some pics on my phone ill see if I cant get them up.

Picked up a full set of alcan springs with orbit eyes in them. They give me about 2 more inches of lift which will still keep me pretty low and alot more flex al around. Here is a pic of one of the new springs I got and the new mounts I had to make for the front. New mounts are needed for the rear too, so thats tomorrows project.

Ya I can get pics of whatever you would like to see about it just let me know. It was pretty simple to make really. I think its just a piece of 2x4 by 3/16 rectangular tube(not sure on dims but its close to that) I cut a little out of the front of the frame and welded it up square. Then I notched out the ends to fit some hangers and welded those in. I just had to redo the hangers for the new springs I got. The purpose of doing this for me was to french it into the frame so I could have a lower rig and still use a taller flexy spring.
 
very nicely done wish I had time and money to throw at mine like yours but all in due time keep up the great work
 
Been forever since ive been on here so here are more updates.

Here are some pics.

First one is of the new french hangers.

Well the regulator for my welder got messed up somehow so I didnt get as much done this weekend as I had planned. I did however get the wood for the bed all drilled in except for one board that I need to weld some supports for since its on the bend.
