I can weld onto the cast and have a flat surface for the springs without outboarding the shackles. I do plan on shackle reversal. I dont want my leaf mountings to hang really low, i would like to keep those as high as possible to make up for the SOA so im not crazy tall. I also already spent time and money on crossover/ high steer set up and if i go spring under all that is useless. I want CLEARANCE. oh and i see that you dont have tcase slip yoke cause you have a completely different drivetrain than stock.... I probably did open a can of worms and i really appreciate the advice. I will go with a cv shaft but that will be later because im broke. But i want to set the pinion angle for it now. I wont be weeling it untill i get all that. I do want to eventually do the 4.3 swap like yourself but thats in the far future. Im curious if anyone has hacked and tapped on stock mitsu gear?
