looks good box the rear of the spring eye,leave the bolt in set up,makes trail repairs easy and you can change spring widths easier in the future,i think ill do somthing close to it on mine

OK first they are called hangers.IE spring hanger,shackle hanger.The perch is under the leaf spring.As for your hangers.They will work just fine.The spring hanger you have there is basicly the same has the Poison Spider fullwidth kit.I would add a couple of gussets and run it.

wound up at 103". Should work just fine. Now the only prob is I want to go to a larger tire.....but i think 37's are the limit to my Ford 9" even with CTMs and Alloy axles.......Anyone else think this???
