Ok thanks. I test fit mine the other day and could clearly see it would hit the spring. Thanks for making me feel better. Maybe the smart logical thing to do is have a pro do it. 110 should be fine for the front lca skids though correct??

wow thats quite a bit of cash, go rent a 220 and plug it into your dryer outlet

 

yea ur tellin me... thats a good idea... idk what to do. i rather do it myself, but i dont want to doit twice..

 

Take the 110 and do some test on some 3/16 and see how the penetration is. Not all 110's are created equal.

with that said we only do it with a 220 welder. But if you have a 110 and know how to weld then I say go for it.

thanks dave..

I did mine 6 months ago with my 110 and they turned out fine. It has plenty of penetration to hold these on.

Take your time and weld slow just stay in the puddle longer you will be fine.

I key tip I got from Mel was to weld the front of the upper ball joint and then hit the back tab with a hammer when its hot. This folds that tab down and then it touches the upper C. I have checked a few other on the trails and mine were the only ones done this way.

 

i read this a while ago and have been keeping it in my head... so when u say hit the back tab u mean hit the area where the etch is?? or do u mean the actual back side of the bracket???
so the inside of the bracket will contact the c.

 

I guess this would be alot easier to explain with a picture. Or I'll shoot you a PM and you can call be I can explain better on the phone than typing.

 

ur pm inbox is full... shoot me a pm.
