Now onto my trie carrier that I have been getting questions about. I got some c-channel for free at school. I hope the pics can explain most of what I did. Here is what I had before I redid it.

mount on the hitch, passenger side stops and the exhaust hanger

my mount on the drivers side goes all the way along the hitch b/c there are no gas fill hoses in the way. (you can see my 5125s in that one, they make short arms and 6" lift ride just like stock)

There is a little of the pinch/weld seam that needs to be bent up to make everything higher.

I converted to a heim join style hinge that works great. It is much better than tabs with a bolt through it. (don't pay attention to my welds, it was my first time with a wire feed)
