1948 Willys Jeep Buildup - Project Murderous Overkill Part V
To extend the front framehorns, we hacked and chopped the vintage Ramsey PTO winch bumper that came on the truck. Once elements of the bumper were bolted, welded, boxed, and reinforced to the frame, we installed the Rancho 2.5-inch lift Wagoneer springs (PN 44044) and mounted the M.O.R.E. stubby spring perches to the front of the frame. We added a tube in between the mounts for rigidity and folded the side of the mounts in for reinforcement. The 47-inch long Ranchos have an offset centerpin, with 22.5-inches between the spring mount and the axle centerline and 24.5 inches from the shackle to the axle centerline.
