that is a nice looking set up how much did it cost to build.Here's what I have so far:

I will be sleeving the framerails tomorrow morning and getting it finally mounted up there, but it's been up there a few times already so I know it fits nice and tight. It only drops the mounting points by a little more then an inch and it moves them in by a couple inches...

did you bend the bar or just use some pieces to get the unit tucked up like thatNot much.. most of it was scrap steel I had laying around. I'm sure you could probably buy all of it for pretty cheap at a scrap dealer or something...
The main cross bar is 1.5"x3" 0.125 wall tube (approx 34" was what I used and cut down).
The frame U plates are 3"x6" 0.1875" wall tube cut down to 7" wide.
The outer strap around the shock is 1.5"x0.25" thick strap (approx 12" long per strap).
The bolt holes in the main crossmember are sleeved...
i cant see why it would not hold up with the amount of bolts holding it on.I cut wedges out of the main crossbar and then bent it and welded it back together.
I just finished sleeving my framerails today. I decided to only do two sleeves per side instead of three like I planned... simply cause 2 is much easier and 3 is a bit overkill, especially since I am also using the bumpstop bolts. Total of 4 bolts per side holding it up.
I am out in Tulsa for work then a wedding in San Fran area this weekend. I will post up my design as soon as I can.Wow, that looks really nice ert01. Are you still working on something ERock62?
is it similar to the other one or differentI am out in Tulsa for work then a wedding in San Fran area this weekend. I will post up my design as soon as I can.
If you were gonna spend the money on somthing like that, Id say screw that and the shocks thruogh the floor. To do it your self is about 100 bucks, depending on what type of material you use.
