So you are talking about the rear hanger of the front leaf springs right? I see where he showed the frame on the 2wd doesn't curve up at a sharp of an angle like the 4x4 frame did.
Should I cut it and weld it back so it does have that angle? I have seen a lot of other 4x4 swaps in the past and it seems no one else addresses that issue.
I am no wheeler or climber or anything and I don't even play in the mud anymore but I do want my angles to be as correct as possible and not cause issues with driveability.
Also, so far the plan is to shorten the frame Saturday morning so if there is any other welding I need to do I need to have planned to have it done that day.
