What is your spring mount actually welded to? Just the bottom of the body mount? Would have thought you would want to beef that up a bit?

Cheers,
Pete

Have a look at my front cross member that was made by tom. Cross member has been moved forward since those photos.

Cheers,

Cheers for the suggestions Pete. We didnt do the front crossmember due to the front bar bolting to the bottom of the chassis. Might look at beefing it up or making the crossmember and modding the bar to suit.
