Spent all day working on it. Didn't help had to run a town over to pick up welding wire.
At one point, thought it was ready. Then realized the a arms was lvl with frame. It hit me, once I let it down on its own tires and wieght it would lower. Not a bunch, but enough, if would have dropped it way it was, the a arms would be low then the frame. Not what I wanted. So had to lower the spider box to best guess. Which did chance the bracket location. On previous pic. The first setup I had the top half of thr upper brackets sitting about 1.5 inches above the back horizontal cross member.
And would need to fab up some extra bracing. Now it sits just slightly above. So going to use some of the same angle iron I used on the shock brackets, and weld it around the cross member to the shock bracket. Also will add some triangle bracing under the member, where the square tubing meets. I'm thinking that should be good.
