Thunderbird will do just fine.
the shock is a little farther forward now b/c I redid the upper mounts. I need to make some bumpstops as well which I could make into the top of the cylinder mount maybe? I can't do that if the cylinder passes over the spring plate. I'm open to ideas, this is all I've came up with so far.

what about building a truss over the pumpkin to weld to
Mounting the cylinder to the spring plate seems prety popular, why are you opposed to doing it that way? If you wanted to get fancy you could build your little gusset so that the u-bolts pass through it instead of (or maybe in addition to) the bolts you had planned.

looked at it again tonight, think I can do something like the first one but it will be close. Fab starts tomorrow night, it was too cold to work outside and Fred was fixing his lockright inside the shop.

Here is the start to the ram mount. It's 3/16" plate, going to box both ends. Simple, and hopefully effective.

Couldn't work on it yesterday, got the mounts together today. I then noticed that I never got a hose kit with this. Fawking PSC. I'm going to try and see if they will get me one, but if someone called me 8 months after they ordered something and said they didn't get part of their kit, I would tell them to get bent. We'll see how it goes. I put the hole in the bracket because I saw St.John do it and figured that's what the cool kids do, so I would too.
