I made my own for the single beam behind the equalizer .... works well to minimize stress on the frame I Beams.

I read your other thread, looks very good. My pictures really don't do it justice. It was starting to rain, cloudy and my flash wouldn't work? But yes I really like the three rails, and welding all but one rail in place. Also the way they box welded every hanger. We pulled off of HWY. 97 near Klamouth Falls Oregon last Sept. just a slight 2" pavement edge and the right rear leaf spring pin broke. That caused the hangers on the rear axle to bend-twist. I've had alot of SOB RV'S in my life, but this Montana suspension seems to be the worst. But I love what they did, This is the way should come from the factory. I feel much more confident traveling on some of the dirt roads we drive on. Arizona bound in a week
