1st pic after cutting off front spring bracket
2nd pic, this is where the problems started, the holes on the bottom lined up but, as you can see, the side holes are not close. We drilled through the frame and bolted them on. Then we installed the link bars and they were not parallel with each other. The problem is the frame gets wider as you go toward the back and the bracket was on that angle. So the bars were on an angle also. You would have to pull hard to try and get them parallel. After making a bar to try and bend the bracket we decided that was not going to work so we cut the bracket, slotted the bottom holes so we could twist the bracket and then bolted the side plate back on and tacked it place.
3rd pic is cutting bracket apart
4th pic is slotting the holes
5th pic back on frame in 2 pieces
I hope you all like pictures now that I have this figured out thanks to friendly fourm members, I know I do.
