I cut two pieces of 3"x3"x1/4" for the mounts 6" long and bolted them on the frame. Then I tacked the tube with the shackle mounts up where it needed to go.

Then I started tacking the support braces on.


Once I got the 2 supports on and everything was stable, I was able to take the jig apart, and finish weld everything.



I think they turned out pretty good
hell yeah man, nice work! I like your meathod.
