I dunno, I've gotta sit down and look online for some other idea's. I don't like what I have found so far. Back to the drawing board again.

Ahh ok, thanks for clearing that up.

I used the adjustable clevis on the bottom of the strap to set where the straps stop the suspension droop. It stops the suspension roughly 1" from full droop.

My straps are 12" Beard straps. I'd probably go with a 10" strap with no lift kit.

this is how im going to do mine

I finally received them, and the welds looked pretty nice this time. All it took was one e-mail. I'm going to put them on tomorrow. I will get some pics.
