I got the front spring hanger installed. I did it a little different than most . The length of the Ftoy frame should still be the same as it was before. It was either angle it like this or build out the Frame where I cut it short to get rid of the junk

I got the front spring hanger installed.  I did it a little different than most . The length of the Ftoy frame should still be the same as it was before.  It was either angle it like this or build out the Frame where I cut it short to get rid of the junk on the front.


Anyway I had to pull the frame a little to get it to line up and squared. (Old frame that has been wheeled I guess I should expect that)


I also built the steering box gussets specifically to interact with the front crossmember.


Here are the pics.


Frame before I started this weekend.

Cut off

Frame Cut

Drew some new steering box mounts

Pass side frame gussets.

Turned out these Chevy Rotors to 4.19+ a few thousands.

Sprint hanger tacked in place

Another View. Notice the notch for the steering box.

Front view. Should work nicely.
