The only reason I'm not back halfing is my cage is already tied into the rear frame rails and I dont want to rebuild the back of the cage.

And it seems you want to keep the leaf springs. IDK it may still be easier and quicker to just do a back half. See...I'm old. I don't like hard work any more. I just write checks.
