Correct. I drew another fancy pic to better show it, this time with more color.
3 pieces of steel
-1 long with 2 90 degree bends (the black piece)
-2 short pieces each with a 90 making an L (blue) which would be welded to the 1st and be the inside portion of the spring hanger supporting the bolt and leaf springs.
That would make for a strong front hanger with no extra lift from stock height.
In my previous post I linked a product from addicted offroad. I highly recommend it. It reenforces your front bumper mounts. My 1st trip out with my new bumper and winch I had to get pulled up a last section of a trail and turn around and do the same for a buddy. Well from those 2 pulls my stock bumper mounts were already tearing at the welds.
