Can anyone tell me what is above the rear spring mounts? The sheetmetal has some large dimples to center the spring but on the inside, there seems to be straight sheetmetal (the area right behind the shocks). Is there a double layer of sheetmetal here? I want to bolt something to the dimple in the center of the spring mount to act as a suspension limiter, but I can't figure out the design.
I know the gas tank is inboard of the springs and is out of the way. Maybe I could cut some access panels into the upper panel of sheetmetal (if indeed it uses 2 layers) then screw a cover panel back over it?
Any info or help would be appreciated.

I actually though of the same type limiter inside the coil. It seems doable.My original thought was of a small gauge chain but still enought to handle shock of the weight of diff being dropped.With eyelets or hoop brackets to attach.

I'm using the straps that Coleman carries I think $20 ea. They have the quick connects that Harnesses use in the quick connect applications. You know.

Mine is gutted,but I have not been in that region of the interior hidden recess.Sorry.Under, above but not in there yet. But soon I am replacing the fuel pump and making the access panel. But I think look harder if you want to do this your gonna have to go there anyway. Check schematics of certain items in the area for an idea??

I would think definitely the rod would have to be telescopic/retracting. But just a slide through solid rod seems hoky. And bind comes to mind as a possible deterant.

I think Jas wants over engineered PFMike (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
