Thanks for the pics, Travis.

It looks like the tube can only be welded about 75-80% of its circumference around the shock tower. The upper portion facing the rear is very tight and I can't get my MIG gun in there to lay any effective beads. Was that your experience also?

Thanks,
Jerry

Jerry,

Yeah for sure you can't get the top. I had a local chassis guy weld mine up, because I don't trust myself with any structural welding and I remember that he switched welders to a different gun to get most of the back side.

That being said, you could probably do pull ups off those braces.

Thanks Travis, that is good to know. Installed the braces up last night and had to leave about 1/2-3/4" of the tube un-welded on top using a narrow cup. Very tight fit to say the least. Pictures to be posted later tonight.

Installed. Thanks to Travis for providing pics of his install.
