Hey Joe.
Initially I want to get the truck up and running so I was planning to use the same 2" OEM leaf springs and run the axle underneath so I don't need to
C-Notch the frame. Yes I think looking at that picture it needs to be flipped - will be done when I get the brackets and align everything up - good eye.

keep it up!

That's an awesome tip !! Thanks Sir. I had planned to use a hydraulic brake switch like Yoss did ...... but if I can find a better fitting bracket with it built in - have at it - appreciate it. Mostly concerned with fitment and keep custom fabrication to a minimum - but am learning you have to get used to that idea on these builds
