Thanks guys for the comments.
The spring leaves are from a Juggernaut. I cut out the center pin and removed the other two leaves then drilled the hole out to 3mm. Since these leaves are longer than the semi leaves I used the center hole in the leaf as the rear axle mount hole and drilled the other closer to the eye of the leaf.
I decided the front suspension needed to be a little different to so I made the hangers for it as well. Being a Pete and needing to move the axle forward I put the spring mount hole in the front of the new brackets. I also made the bracket wide enough so I did not need the plastic spacers the stock suspension uses. I also bushed all of the holes with a brass bushing so I have a replaceable wear item instead of having to make new parts later. Well enough chit chat here are some pics.
Thanks for looking.
Travis
