hi greg and welcome to the forum.
On my ute i have welded a piece of 50x6mm flat from one top spring mount to the other, i intend to weld two other pieces of flat from the crossmember in front of the spring mounts, over the top of the cross brace [the 50x6 flat] and on to the crossmember behind the spring mounts .
If you can stop them from bending up it should stop them from tearing the chassis.

thanks guys
Just the information I needed - thanks. Now I'm armed with a bit more info I can start talking with some local chassis "experts" to get the job done. I wouldn't attempt that type of job myself!
Great site - I usually lurk on the yahoo Patrol forum; but will definitely keep a close eye on this also. Thanks again

Greg have a posting in the earlier page and a pic attached too of my plate over the top(pictures here below if you want them). Is 12-13 mm and bolted into place right the width of the spring mounts.
On the right hand side you will need to place the brake line pipes differently. Should not bend in a hurry now.

Never enough of the right sort of tripping
