First, finished that holly mess. Young kids screwed up the alignment though and it isn't good, but I am confident once I get it done (Covid 19 is in the way) It will be good

About 1000 posts ago on this thread I talked about doing this. Making my own low profile, but more importantly 1 inch drivetrain lift. Step 1, make a mockup.

All welded up and a very glossy black paint job completed. I added two gussets to the top bar. You can kind of see in this pic.

Had to drill out the taped 1/2" hole to 5/8. This bolt is actually under lots of load in this design. Grade 8 - 5/8" bolt installed.

First, I had to go to home depot and get a three prong 240 volt outlet. This is what I had installed previously.

Here you can see the simple mount. And gusset. I am using 1/4" steel. I had to cut the spindle top to be able to mount the spindle as high as I need it and clear the bolt. I could have made my arms another 3/4 longer and move the whole thing further back on the plate. The spindle would clear the bolt. BUT, I decided the arm being short is important. I did have to make sure radius was enough not to mess up the steering geomtery. Also, I decided a gusset on one side was more than enough.
