Outboarding mounts?
Just wanting to see if anyone had any trick ideas for mounting the shackle outboard the frame in the front. I am putting a full width Dana 60 in the front of my sami frame, and I am lengthening the front, and have plenty ideas for the front hanger, but just cant picture anything decent looking for mounting the shackle end. Yes this is shackle reversal, and yes I have looked at the D44 FAQ. It looks as if most do like the Poison Spyder full width kit, and make a plate that a CJ shackle mount bolts to. That is ok, but I dont like the way it looks. Any other ideas?? BTW, I just torched every single factory bracket of my sami frame front to back, so I am free to make whatever. The only thing I left was the front 2 body mounts, and the 4 that go right under the tub, everything else is gone. I just wish the sami frame was a little wider

I ran some plate steel steel from the body mount that comes out from the frame and down the frame about 8" with a traingle gusset on the top of the steel. Then just fabbed up some tube shackle hangers that come down 3" with short shackles. I'm running 56" F-150 springs up front so flex wont be an issue.
