Not the best picture, but here is a shot of the mounting brackets under the truck



Welded in the shackle tubes and hung the 1 shacke I have. I need to buy a couple more shackles now.








Then I cut the side bars and welded tac welded them in place. I had to make a few adjustments before they both matched up side to side.







I didn't like the look of how the side bar ends were flush with the back of the main bumper, so I cut them back a little with a slight angle before I filled them in.









Tomorrow I am going to pull the bumper off, weld the backside of the side bars and add gussets between the main tube and side bars. After that and some grinding, I might even hit it with some paint
