I haven't really looked, but I was curious if anybody knew where/if I could put these up front...

 

Custom fab some brackets for them and put them on the frame

 

I had those before. Bolted straight to the frame and took off the lower valance. This was on a different Gen Ranger though. I ended up removing those and installing D-shackles, had to many problems with them during recovery.

 

Well I got them free so I'm gonna see what I can do... I'm liking the bracket idea

 

really...w/o a bodylift...that bracket needs to be about a 6" drop, then the hooks....that's alot of leverage and the risk of it snapping off the frame is decent imo.

 

Ya, I got a pair of those from the junkyard and have not decided on how I want to mount them to the truck yet. I was thinking maybe just putting a hitch in the front of my truck and fabing them with that some how. We will see.

 

I hooks very similar on the front, I just drilled and threaded 1/2" holes in the frame. I don't really have any good pics, but you can kind of see one here, look against the plants underneath the front. 4 1/2" grade 8 bolts holding them on, they've worked well, the frame is going to bed before anything else.

 

I wasn't panning on putting them on until i put on a lift

 

I was thinking they might be good on the rear.

 

im trying to get my hands on some of them. have no clue where to get it from though

 

^^Mine came from Jcwhitney

 

or any auto parts or tractor store, they're not rare by any means
