This is a pretty easy. i suggest 1/4" steel tho. I did a reverse shakle on my ferd, hauled 5500lbs of rock once. Can be done well. Also look at inverting the rear shackle. Box up the stock mount and cut a hole in the bottom of it to slip the shackle through. I use square tube to make the front mounts. easy to trim to fit the spring in andyou can make it as tall as you want. Remember gussets!
