Here's a pic of where the top link is attached to the frame. I chose to use a partially boxed mount with bolt going through the frame. This allows me to still drop the top link in and out to make adjustments quicker.
I'm leaning on the center strap because there have been way too many times where I am teetering on a boulder on the frame and my front wheels are off the ground completely. With both sides of the axle that low (10 inches down) the drive shaft starts to really slide apart and from my experience watching other trucks do this the shaft gets pretty week as it slides more and more apart. I've seen buddies completely seperate theirs and some even broke. When one wheel is up and other low I get my flex and it helps keep my driveshaft from sliding out too much.
I don't see any problem with using a center strap and trying to retain the springs in place. It's just with these 6" slee springs I'm not sure how much (if any) length I can get them to stretch. I don't mind them hanging there like they are now. But I am going to retain the springs at the bottom for sure..just in case they slip out while it's hanging there.
Thanks!
