I have been thinking about mounting my rear springs under the frame. Anybody done this or know any one that has. Any help would be great. Thanks

NoRulz did that to his Ford

looks super easy

I would follow his lead,

use a back hanger from the front spring buried into the frame with a real long shackle

i assume the reason you are doing this is to run some 63" long springs or something

Yeah, my plan is to run 63 inch springs. Is his ford the yellow or red one. I think i have seen it.

His is the redish colored one
When I was in AZ I went and looked at his rig, it nice, he's really nice just pm him or look through the general discussion section from pics of fullsize trucks, or cruise throught the ford talk. If you do that you will need to reinforce the frame in some way.
He has lots of great idea for modifing these rock crawlering trucks.
