Well I got one of the cross members up there. But my frame is so bent I had to use some 2x4 square tubing since the bolts weren't lineing up with the frame on ether side.

That will probably hold up better anyway. I was wondering what you did about that. I made some egg shaped holes for mine in the frame.
I hope so! I'm probly coin to weld some 1/8" flat stock I got laying around vertically down the side of frame/square tubing mount I welded on. Just to make me feel better. The bolts completely miss the frame.

That's just crazy. I'm having a hard time picturing that. Wonder how it got that bad off. Oh well. You got it under control now.
Whhhhheeeeeeeewwww!
Still gotta move the front axle fwd a few spots. And I got the old avalanche engineering in boarded shock kit with the clamp shock mounts on axle and I used those to tie the back bone truss to axle so I can take ir off if I get different axle

Its a lincoln 3200hd older version of a 140. Best 150$ I ever spent!
Its hasn't let me down yet, and it wasn't no cart beauty ethier. Ill get some pics looking straight up at the frame to show how the bolts line up with the frame. Its ethier the po wrecked it or its from me doing 60mph drifts (slaming into first coin 60 w/th350) and jumping it

Whipped up some 8.25" shackles and now I'm happy with the spring/frame clearance and axle placement
BUMPITY BUMP
Haha, yeah no crap.
Hey there it is! You guys trying to say something?
It's time for new pics.
I knew that was coming! 
I'm still figuring out the new site. And couldn't figure out how to look up my threads I started. But just for the record 8.25" shackles ended up being to long and used 7.25 shackles. I could probably get away with ones a little shorter but these seem to work fine. Got some new stickers on it too.

The water pics are sweet!
