project, but i did see somthing you might want to remedy.  on the front axle drivers side i see you put your gusset tube on the inside, from my point of view you might want to put another one on the out side or move it to the out side. because if somthing did happen in the front it might start to lean to the driver side or break in that direction.  but like i said project it will be really cool to see it in person if you or me happen to be at the same bog.

Yup, With leafs on the front axle you have to come from the bumper and go back ward.

I was Thinking about adding one there, not sure yet.  The blocks are completely welded to the housing also.  Alot of trucks Ive seen online w/ leafs dont have the gusset.  I appreciate the comment though.  This is my first rockwell build and its definitely a learning experience.  I know 1 thing, Rockwells are cheap, but theres nothing cheap about puttin em in, and I didnt even 4 link it.

Thanks everyone for the comments, Got alot done monday, then i had a couple days of training classes at work so ill be back on it thurs.  Should have some new pics this weekend, hopefully on rollers.

u have to go from the bumper?

[Bowtie972]

If you have a hitch in front, or HD bumper you can drop a bracket down from either.  I used 4" sq tube to drop my spring hangers down, so i welded tabs on the bottom of that for mine. Either way, but it has to come from front of truck and toward rear.

With a 4 link you can come from center of truck forward.  With leafs ive learned, Thanks Rollover Herb, that if come from the center forward the shackle cant flex and you will break your main leaf.
