You can post em here, you just cant UPLOAD. Anyway major problems? I dont see why it would as long as you move the shackle as well

i have my rear ones mounted like that on my new project. i did it to keep from snagging it like it has a tendancy to do on my jeep. not the best pic but you can tell it is mounted at an angle.

I think the spring hanger is probably fine. I'd be more worried about the frame bending. It looks like you've just stacked the rails and welded where they meet. Have you reinforced it at all? I can't tell from the picture you posted...

bend???? it's 1/8" rectangular tubing. it isn't going to bend. besides the full cage that will be tied to it all the way around won't hurt either. have you ever looked at how a stock jeep cj frame is constucted? if the stock frame on my jeep lasted as long as it did this thing will last twice as long.

also i have a buddy with one of the after market frames and it is all butt welded pieces instead of bent rails.
