Moving cab backward on frame a couple inches

I don't want to shorten the frame because moving the spring hangers in the front for 52" springs pushes them pretty far forward. It also gives me plenty of room to mount a winch and fairlead so they don't stick out past the frame horns. General consensus is that in Michigan you must have a bumper no more than 24" from the ground and it must be a distance away from your tires but not necessarily blocking your tires.

You'd love my front bumper then. I can't imagine why you'd want one hanging that low though.

Got to... or have the popo harassing you. Usually they'll ignore the fact that a Fiero can drive under the center of your rig if you have bumpers that hang down far enough.

From an earlier post:

The current plan for bumpers is to have them pinned so they can go from hanging down to pointing up and the mud flaps to be pinned and removable.

Basically, have a cattle catcher when down and a brush guard when up.
 
Have you considered moving the radiator, etc. to the box or whatever your going to have behind the cab, with elec. fans keeping everything cool. Just a thought, im not sure if it will work for you or not though.

they're not the same, they come apart, they're only riveted together.

Besides, it's not a fabbing masterpiece to make a front spring hanger even if they didn't.

Or just make some new body mounts behind the current setup. Either way. Then you could do what you wanted.
