That part I wasn't aware of. If that's the case and it's open on the bottom where you need it to sit on the springs you will have to weld a plate on there and drill it.
Now you see why pictures are such a big help!! 8) 8) 8)
Not all axles are created equal and the ones most of us are used to dealing with are round.
Sorry if'n we cornfuuused you!! 8) :lol: 8) :lol:

That's not a bad thing. Mine is 19" but I like it. It's the same clearance that my Jeep has. Are you pulling it with that nice Bronco in your album?
