Diggin up an old post here guys...

Well, I'm at the point where I just need to fit up my shortened diff to finish off all the major work to the drive train. Below are a couple of pics of the standard ute leaf spring mounts. Basically, I need to move the mounts to the inside of the chassis rails (+10mm) and remount them.

For the rear, I was thinking about welding a piece of RHS just inboard of the chassis rail and then make a new mount and attach it. I think this will be the easy one.




As for the front, I'm really not sure what to do here as I want the area to be nice and strong, yet still retain a semi-stock look. The only thing I can think of here is to use some RHS that welds to the back of the cab like the stock spring rail, and merge the two together.




I would appreciate any input from people that may have a better idea for moving the mounts inwards whilst still retaining the strength. I've been through plenty of options and I'm at the point where I need someone else to look at it as it's starting to lose all meaning!!

Cheers...
