Ditto. That plate will bend real easy the first time it gets used. But looking real good so far.

Don

Yeah I had planned on making gussets. However the stops are two inches to short. Currently I'm running 28" tall tires when I move to 17s I'll be using 27" tall tires. So all that work into cutting and grinding the first design will be trashed. I'm going to make a mount that will be welded to the plate that the air bag mounts to. It will move the stops down 11/2 inches so I adjust the stops to get the tires off of the fender wells when I put them back in.
