I thought I remembered measuring my chev springs to some ford springs and from the rear spring eye to the centering bolt was dam close to the same, so the length difference is front spring eye to the centering bolt. So the rear hanger would end up in the same spot as it ''normaly would be''. So why dont you have room to mount a bumper?

Over $500 list price but i got it much cheaper. The guy kept sayin is was used and the truss had already been welded to a housing. So his sister(read sexy) delivered it today while looking at the WVU campus. Anyhow the truss has two tack welds on it. All the hardware was still sealed in the packages and its all there. There is also the two tubes along with the shackles and wristed setup that goes on the frame end.

Few more parts and some progress. Second crossmember for the fuel tank is in so the mount/skid will start tomorrow night.

New badass shackles and zero rates. Also my tranny/tcase adapter.

Looks like it will hold mud and other crap well. Hopefully it isn't too heavy.
