Last night I was contemplating where to cut the rear frame...
To recap. I originally got the hitch plates from Brandon (Scarborough) a guy on ComancheClub who build MJ hitches. Anyway it's designed for a SWB because the bottom hole on the hitch is for leaf spring but since mine is a LWB, I ended up not using it.
I was thinking. What if I moved the hitch back to where the leaf spring bolt was, and drill new mounting holes on the frame. After measuring it ll be 8" chop. Not bad at all. I didn't want to bob the bed really close to the shackle mount but wanted to retain somewhat large load capacity in the bed.
I also removed the rusted winch crank for the spare tire.
I'm thinking I prob ll fab up a bracket and bolt it in place using those 4 holes to help stiffen up the X a bit. Or maybe that ll be where I ll mount the OBA tank. I dunno.
