With welding you have to well use a tape measure and more thought because it comes in pieces and figuring out angles and locations can mean the difference between riding correctly and well having your alignment all out of wack.  |
I wasn't trying to imply at all that the folks here are not skilled enough to do a weld in ifs, rather, there is a ton of misinformation on just how the installs actually go, so I wanted to show how simple they are.
On a regular basis I actually get calls with people ask how they weld the a-arms together, or how the crossmember needs to be welded into one piece.
Yes, a weld in will be much more basic as far as installs go, but you will still need to do just as much measuring with that new fangled tape measure, LOL. the only real extra work is going to be the bit of welding. Even the bolt on kits that I am familiar with require you to cut in your rack notches.
