Highboy Frame Question
I have a 73 highboy frame, but ran across a picture of a 76 highboy frame and it has some type brackets installed that my 73 does not have. Just wondering if I am missing something. Can you identify the mounts in the picture.
Thanks,

I think those are the leaf spring stops for the overload springs that go on top of the main pack.

Yes those are the stops for your over lead springs.
