Nope, but I'm about to. I'm going to tye into the frame at the anti-sway bar, like many of the AM ones do. It's a needed part for my amount of lift and tire size, and looks easy enough to do cheaply!! Plus, I'm puting a new box and pump in, as well as all of the rest of the moving parts on my front end, so it seems like a logical move to me!!

I want to do the durango box because my box is about shoot. If you make one can you do a write-up? Then if you like make me one!

On the bumpers I'm building, the "frame" mount extends beyond the steering box bolts, and they actually run through it. So once I add the brace on the other side to the sway bar bracket, it should be a pretty solid set up.
