No it was more for test fitting.
I don't keep a winch back there on the road.

The shock towers I notched in the bottom center and welded them on. I wanted to leave the bumpstops in place.
Yes there are many bogger welds on the towers.
A buddy of mine was practicing welding on alot of it.
The angle grinder broke or I would have gorund it down to look nice.
Also don't mind the nut barely on tierod I was in the process of replacing the crossrod.

Roll Me Over
Looking good!!!! Word of advice run some type of brace/gusset from the top of the shock mount to the inside of the frame rail. They will break believe I know!!!!

The front drivers side didn't want to flex very much.

I think it's because the pitman arm is hitting the spring which it had bottomed out on the spring in these pics.
