What's your thoughts on removing the speaker deck and canoeing the trunk in the welding the lid to the trunk floor at the humps? I can weld 3" on 3" off all the way around and would you still tuck it and notch it or just leave the speaker deck and tuck and notch?

And I can run the rear window bar to halo bar. 2 if I leave speaker deck one if I remove it?

When moving leaf springs are you moving just the rear or both front and rear under the frame. What's the best way to patch floor at rear sub mount?

From what I've been reading there moving them under the frame and its stiffening the rear.

Correct move leafs inline with frame anytime your allowed Last couple I only pulled the rear inline and it did fine. Did exactly what it was supposed to. But as stated I do not build the back of any of my mopars for offensive driving. I build mine to roll and for defense only

I'd go bigger even 4x4 is a little to narrow for the frame 6x4 with a light point you'll be fine.
