Here are a few pics of the template for the gusset I intend to create for the ladder bar bracket. Please let me know if you think it will be strong enough. It will be 1/4" plate that will be 1/2" wide against the ladder bar bracket and 1-1/2" wide against the axle housing. I will also be anchoring it to the shock bracket as I notched it for attachment of the soon to be created bracket. These first two pics are of the gusset template without the shock installed.
