should I weld C notch?
Just did a rear flip on my 1980 using the Belltech kit and Nitro 2 drop shocks. Went really well but would you guys recommend I weld the c notch or are the 6 grade 8 bolts good enough?

plenty of C notches safely on the road that are simply bolted in ... welding wouldn't hurt anything at all, but it's not necessary.

Just bolting it in would actually be better than welding because welding would create more of a stress riser than just bolting it.

If you know how to weld and have the equipment to do so, I would weld it in. I have bolted in a bunch of them, now that I have the proper equipment and knowledge I would never bolt one in again.
