I need to find a way to mount the front of my leaf springs so I can connect the AirBar when it comes in.
I am running aftermarket rear frame raisl made out of rectangular tubing, so the factory front bracket will not work. I was thinking of having these made up and bolting them to the subframe and then welding them on for added strength.
What do you guys think? I am pretty new to suspension stuff, but I've been a mechanical designer for over 5 years now so it seems like a good design to me. Once I get these on I will add additional gussets and things to strengthen it, but this is what I would start with.

Do you guys think that would be ok?
