Beltech swaybar and leafs

It is hard to tell from picture/angle, is the plated bracket the sway bar works off of that is bolted to the frame, 1/4" thick or better? If so, good, I was thinking thinner.
Here may be an alternative shock, includes specs.

Almost the same as the 92-98 Nissan Quest and Mercury Villager, except those have the upper dirt/dust shield.

Ooooohh i see what your saying... Never noticed that. No its like 12ga though. Ill make a new one from quarter

Have you relocated the rear shackle brackets on the frame yet? If not, I bet you have a very stiff ride, with no rear end upward motion allowed? The leaf spring should get longer (straightens out) going over a bump, but no where to straighten.
When you relocate them, it should only raise the body/frame probably a half inch, if that.

Your reading skills are lacking. ya the second post with the two pics. The drivers side has been cut and moved back 7/8".

Yeah, going back, I see the weld picture, no assembled with weight on it pictures following. My truck's stock with weight on them shackles have closer to 90 degree angle (eyeballed @ 70 degrees) in relation to the frame, on them than it appears yours will, when assembled and bed in place, off the stands or jacks. This is okay, just will be a stiffer ride, less drop possible in a curve (which is good for sway), just ruff rider over bumpy surface. When the shackle pivots enough to allow the spring end to hit the frame, give in the spring ends.
It may be prefect for the setup you want, just wanted to mention the bed weight drop.
Sometimes when too close to something, we overlook things. Carry on.
