Have a need to decrease the height of the front hanger by 2 inches and I will be almost dead nuts on my caster, set up my new tire for reference. Looks like compensating from spring compression and the added height of having the axle under there, I should be sitting about 2.5 inches higher than in the pic! Gonna be 1 bad lookin ram!

Well front box tube crossmember is complete, the outer plate for the hanger will mount to the very outside of the crossmember on both sides. Came out dead nutts perfect. The big arrow is the center point of the perc, to give me 32 inches. The smaller arrows are the location of the inner hanger plates. All 1/4 inch wall with combo of 1/4 and 1/8 reinforcement. This thing will be military grade!
Should have the new leafs completely in in about an hour n a half.

Make sure those welds are solid, there's a video on YouTube (can't seem to find it) where a chevy or gmc had a lift like this. He guns it and the rear axle breaks off and rolls up to the front tires. Something to think about if you are considering half assing anything lol. Goodluck and it looks great!
