RIP Mike, we'll all miss you
Me too, but I am going to use Waggy axles instead to keep it kinda street legal.

You have to mount the springs outboard of the frame rails like this:
Almost the entire wheel will fit outside the fenders so check your local laws first.

on post number 8 it shows the mounts I made to relocate the axles out side of the frame. I think I have about $30 tied up in the steel for the front (I got screwed on the price). those will get mountd to the out side of the frame. spring mounts will get wleded on for the rear and shackle mounts bolted on for the front.
