Ugg, I spent all night making a custom bracket to hang off my tail pipe and mounting a section of aluminum angle to my front leaf spring frame pivot mounts... On the plus side I think I have a very nice idea for getting over the axle seamlessly involving some springs and a bit of "service loop" of chloroplast warped around the rear axle to allow for vertical axle travel while maintaining zero gap between the front and back transition. Time will tell if the idea will actually work. It looks good in my head lol. I have high hopes for it!
Design work 10 hours a day plus ecomodds at night is wearing me thin but I am so close it's hard to put the breaks on this project. I hit 35 MPG average on the way to work this morning for 15 miles city/highway and I know I can do even better once this is done!
