Chime in if you've experienced the welding/ non welding of these laser-cut slots in the stiffening kits. Looks like these are just for break-bends, but the torch is hot now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
Thanks !  |

Weld up the slots and make them look nice. With a 1000 hp the arms need to be strong. With a 1000 hp the stock suspension mounting is well going to break anyways so order Foleys pick up kit and do a "while your in there" |

We have him on speed dial, and he is good to deal with. I still like to overkill the parts with more strength. I like the way you think so I handed off the slot welding to the night shift ! I'll detail tomorrow. Old guys gotta rest up Friday nights. Marty  |
