Re: My Wife's 55.2 Carryall / Suburban build

Here is a picture of the boxing plate I made for this. It is out of 3/16" plate that I had laying around. It is of the same plate I used for the front. Since the picture was taken I have welded it up and ground it down.





I couldn't for the life of me try to figure out what would look best connecting the dog bone bracket to the frame so I had a W.W.B.D. moment and came up with this.
It is made out of 1/8" plate that I had left over from an order I just did this last week.



I had bent it up in my metal Brake.






Then I decided to close it in. I am going to add some more gusset plate to it to sturdy it up. I might even do a few dimples in it to dress it up a bit. I might also cut an inch out of the right side plate (facing) and bend the top/bottom cover plate to give it a little dress up although am not too sure yet.




I think it looks a little goddy but am not sure yet.




It is a few inches away from the factory dog bone bracket as I am going to use 5/8" rod ends and some D.O.M. tubing for a custom 4 link setup, and so it is fully adjustable later.
