    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    A plasma cutter would be the best tool for the job.

    I may be misunderstanding the intent of the proposed BAMF cross-bracing, but I believe they are meant to brace the hangars. The OEM cross-brace supports the frame.

    You're changing the weak point to be the frame and the OEM crossbrace will not be suffienct to support the twist from these. Especially if you have any aftermarket weight hanging off your ass. I personally will be boxing the frame, adding an udgraded frame crossbrace, and a hanger crossbrace. But I've got a fat ass, and don't trust these paper thin frames :notsure:

    and @inv3ctiv3 is going to help me with all of it! :rofl:

    Thinking that's likely my route. I'm curious about the Icon RXTs but I'm not super thrilled with Icon as of late so I may not.

    That’s what I’m looking at right now.

    Swapping from 6 year old all Pro expos and ATO shackle flip.

    Hd shackle hangers and deavers should be a nice combo before the gfc next spring.

    Btw now I want one of those floor jacks too.. thanks a lot lol

    Alcan have a standard eye and there is clearance issues with them and they will most likely not work with the shackle you would have to use stock.

    Any spring that doesn't fit in the shackle just won't work. There is not redesigning that can take place it is what it is. The only way to fit the standard eye spring is with factory shackles or grind the springs themselves to clear the shackle making any changes to the shackles and they will contact the hangers.
