the mounts are not done yet, there only tacked in place. We still need to box them in, make some support gussets and weld on doublers for the bolt holes.

hey random question for you digital. how much clearance is there form your crossmember you made for the upper mounts and the driveshaft? i cant see it being able to fully move up and down without hitting ours but we figured that when we first started. were thinking of cutting out the center once its upthere then building a driveshaft loop right where we cut to still connect everything.

My mounts angle down from the crossmember. I don't know the clearance off hand, beyond "bunch".
