if it's been over a year they probably wont. But if it hasn't been a year start screaming until they do. Trust me I deal with them on a daily basis lol

Getting close to getting my new bumper put on. Saturday is going to be the day of spring installs. Going to use my spring hangers to make a b52 similar to the A -Bomb bumper idea.
Just need to trim a bit more frame and knock out 4 more rivets. I left them in til I drop the springs.

Mine is on the driver side front fender. Not that it matters, im prolly gunna camo it anyway!
Had my millwright buddy weld on my spring hangars. Don't want my front end coming off on the road.
My brand new bumper/ spring setup.
New ride height. Don't like it already. Too tall. Plus since it pushed the axle forward. My shaft is too short. As is my drag link. As is my shocks. Need to figure out how to mount my bilsteins.
What springs are those?

Any plans to gusset the rear of the spring hangers where they extend beyond the bumper?
They're the lifted 52s that came on the rear of my truck. I was hoping I could stretch the shackle angle to make them fit but it's ridiculous.
And yes. I'm waiting to see how everything goes together when I'm done and happy with the stance. And if I like ye shackle with them far enough forward. I'll trim most of the extra off an gusset what's left.
So got a call from a buddy. He's gonna deliver me a set of stock 2wd suburban springs tomoro. As well as a 205 for the doubler setup to happen. Will need to change the input and some other nonsense but I'll get to it later on.
Sweet! A doubler is on my list also!
