The front spring hangers are where the top link hooked in, and then you add a lower link bracket ahead of the spring hanger. I have wanted to do this for a while and now might just be the time. That dodge rides so nice it isn't believable.
i'd look at pictures! ill have to use all custom bracketry but i like to see where i can rob ideas. personally i think they use too short of links, but i suppose that is the rock buggy stuff coming out in me. i am also curious how you determine the size need for the ping tanks. also i wonder if they are neccesary for a lighter truck with large bags. it would seem that most regular road bumps wouldnt move the axle enough to make it matter with a larger bag.
