I have a dana 30 I'm gonna throw under my front end. I hardly ever go wheeling, when I do go wheelin, its light. I only plan on running 33's so I don't need the "get a dana 44" comments. Yes, I'm gonna run leaf springs. The same springs I'm running in the back, STOCK Explorer springs. In my opinion, they flex awesome, less to go wrong, and cheap.
My question is should I run a x-member in front, from side to side, so i can run my springs outboard or make a bracket off of the body mounts?
a pic of what i'm talkin about on both accounts. also, I plan on runnin the shackles in the rear of the springs.
X-member route
Bracket Path
Brackets off of body mounts
Brackets for Spring Hangers
Brackets off of frame
