Rear spring hanger bracket
Spring hanger welded in place sits much nicer out of the way from rock now.

I wanted the full width for more stability on the rocks and you get a grater flex arc with the wider axles. I'm going to be running 38's or 39's on this d44 and once I cant get a D60 I'll go to a 42in tire
