This has been the plan for over 2 years since I bought the truck. Didn't see any reason with starting with an 84 F150, 300 six as a base for this... I saved up my money and bought the baddest ford truck I could find. Then I played with it while I saved for tires, axles and such.

This is a great thread to follow 
Are you using those in a single or double shear design? Im been seeing alot of guys using them single sheer lately and think its not the best way to go.

Ya, and I'll have a much more capable truck than you and for a lot less money. On that thought.. What truck do you even have?

Pens? what you keeping animals in? or are you writing something? I think it's actually called a "PIN". Oh, and single shear on somthing that large is a very very bad thing, but we don't care if you kill yourself, it's the innocents you will take with you that we care about.
Doubting that. I think his parts trucks are more capable than anything you can fubar up!

Well considering "sheer" means thin as in a woman's dress and your pecker. Where "shear" not only means to cut as in like hair or the tool to perform that act, it also refers something subjected to shear force, like your single shear bracket that will cut and rip apart.
Try looking at Webster's once in a while before you try to come back with an intelligent answer.
Oh, and just so you can clarify:
Definition of SHEAR
transitive verb
1a : to cut off the hair from b : to cut or clip (as hair or wool) from someone or something; also : to cut something from <shear a lawn> c chiefly Scottish : to reap with a sickle d : to cut or trim with shears or a similar instrument
2: to cut with something sharp
3: to deprive of something as if by cutting <lives shorn of any hope — M. W. Browne>
4a : to subject to a shear force b : to cause (as a rock mass) to move along the plane of contact
