ok bit the bullet and plasma'd the front spring shackle bushings in the frame i will have to use full 4"width shackle and offset the spring to the outside cause it is near the stock trans mount location and frame is angled outwards there, also finsih welded the front spring hanger-pics later

ps have the 2.6 w/ new chains and the trans,t/case and diffs for sale, basically everything that i unbolted for this swap!
