Nah i have some pics if you want me to post them up. It was for a customer who picked it up last week. Its a heim joint which is a type of ball and socket setup.
The Bracket had 3 bolts in the bottom but it did not go up the inside of the frame.
Bars all Finished. Made a world of difference. Also flexed fine. I backed it up on a hill but didnt get a pic. But like stated before frame did all the flexing lol
depends on you wheel base too. this is a 5 ton tractor which i set up for the m105 bed. worst case you can also build a little cradle on the bottom of the frame to jump around that stuff. i didnt do that to this truck cause customer wanted more of the look and just didn't want the wrap of the...

another thing i noticed with the deuce spring hangers is on some not all but the hangers don't flex all the way due to the casting be to bulky around the hanger and shackle. If you flapper wheel it it gives the shackle more swivel . i dont have a pic here to show it, ill try when i get home
im bobbing a 900 series 5 ton right now and am adding traction bars. If you guys have ideas and measurements i can cut something custom out for ya. Im using 2 1/2" od x .250wall DOM tube and 1"x1.25" heims. (what we use on the monster truck upper bars) on this cusomters truck. but for 2.5tons i...
