So about how many hours of labor would it be to weld on upper/lower c-gussets? I've been wondering that myself. I've seen guys on craigslist list their welding services for as low as $50/hour, but I'd gladly pay another forum member $100/hour to weld for me. I'd trust another forum member before I trusted someone unknown guy on Craigslist. I may not know the forum member either, but at least I could bash him on the forum if he melts my ball joints! haha Welding is definitely one of those things I'd rather pay the extra money for and get quality work.

id be doing those ball joints at the same time even if I had 0 miles on my jeep. the stock ones are plastic, you never know when they will go, and with anything larger than stock tire they will blow out faster
I havent done c gussets yet because I dont have the ball joints yet, I wont do one with out the other and pay twice, just my 2 cents

, they are expensive. I don't really wheel hard, just want the piece of mind. Plus if bend anything down there, I'm pretty sure its going to cost more then the C-gusset job
. Down the road I hope to be able to get the ball joints and sleeve, but that's not until save up enough mula and this mod gets its number called on the mod list.

If you running anything over 33” tires you should have the gussets. The thing I feared was melting the stock ball joint during the welding of the “C” gussets. So I would remind them that you have stock ball joints when you take it in.
