[QUOTE="Snowrunner, post: 962151, member: 16870"] [b]Progress[/b] Well for the little time I had this weekend I got done what I wanted to. The first order of business was to take care of that nasty rust spot on the frame, so I cut it out and welded in a piece of 12 guage steel in there. Next for frenching the spring mounts I marked out the cutout for the half piece of pipe I was goin to put in and cut it out. [IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/xlazyb/85%20Yota/IMG_0076.jpg[/IMG] Then I welded on a piece of 1/4 plate on the inside of the frame rails to used for the backin plate for the frenched mount and to brace the frame. I still have another piece to weld on towards the front of the truck to complete it and I might put some 3/16 on the outside of the frame. [IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/xlazyb/85%20Yota/IMG_0105.jpg[/IMG] Then the half piece of pipe got welded in and holes were drilled for the spring bolts. [IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/xlazyb/85%20Yota/IMG_0077.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/xlazyb/85%20Yota/IMG_0074.jpg[/IMG] Hung the springs and just tied the shackles up so I could get and idea where to mount them. Ill pick up some rear hangers after work tomorrow. [IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/xlazyb/85%20Yota/IMG_0072.jpg[/IMG] Saw I could put a bolt through some of the holes on the frame so I did that and let it rest on its own weight. [IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/xlazyb/85%20Yota/IMG_0104.jpg[/IMG] This is where it sits with the frame level [IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/xlazyb/85%20Yota/IMG_0109.jpg[/IMG] Ground to frame heigth [IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/xlazyb/85%20Yota/IMG_0107.jpg[/IMG] Heigth to top of cab [IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/xlazyb/85%20Yota/IMG_0108.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
