lol, ironically I just called it a night for the same reason, I was working on some rear sprintg hangers for the rear to accomidate my 5" Allpros, I took a 1 ft. piece of 1/4" thick 3.5" x 4" box tubing, cut it diagonally and drilled 9/16 holes for the bolt, well. when we were getting ready to weld it all into place, we noticed that the bolt was cockeyed. :wtf: So.. Looks like a new peice of metal tommorow and redue the whole process.. yaaaaay! its not that hard, just make sure to use a drill press when drilling the holes..

Also, mark it out and drill first then cut. Easier to clamp when it's whole.

Pretty easy to do.

That last pic is the same design I decided to go with, cuz as you get hung up on a rock with your rear spring hanger, the rock will slide down the slope and past the hanger.. But make sure you box it in. Last, this was mentioned earlier which I forgot to mention, Drill before cutting

check with the mopar dealer, IIRC they have them with multiple (spring bolt) holes for under 20, that will save shipping.

Here's the fronts I put on last year...

ToyMater · Jan 27, 2007

Yah, that is a good deal.. But $5 and a little elbow grease and some math is an even better deal, plus it can give you a sense of pride.. I would go the trail-gear way if I didnt have power tools redily available though.. But that just my 2 cents.
