Sorry, I meant the front leaf spring hangers. I read where 06h3 said they cut them off and welded new ones because it reduced lift. Did you do the same or kept the factory ones in place?

Those are to compensate for te extra spacing between the bumpstops and base plate.. I can post some of Speedfunk's build pics if needed

After I got everything done I did a test-flex...I discovered that I had WAY too much room between the bumper and the spring. You can see in this photo that I’m still using the stock bumper....

Up close it looked like this....and I had too much distance between the bumper and the stop....

So I pulled my spring plates off and made some towers for the bumps to land on. Here’s the parts and pieces I used...

The towers were 3x3 tubing and I welded them on at 45-degrees so there would be room to get a wrench on the U-bolt nuts. After welding the spring plates looked like this....
