Need some opinions please
Well after several years of collecting parts I think that I am ready to tear my truck apart. What I plan on doing is a static drop of 4 and 6. Fitting some 22 for the rear and 18 for the front. Starting on rear end now. Striped down the rear and when I knocked the u bolts out of the trailing arms. They, meaning the arms split at the seams. Old tack welds let go. So I finished them off on the split and got both halves separated. Cleaned them up and welded them solid all the way around. They feel some much more solid and heavier now. My questions are, Should I go ahead and weld some reinforcement plates on there like the factory? Or is it good enough? Also wanting to put a rear sway bar on. Have a CCP rear bar, instructions mount it on bottom of control arms. Looks like it would be a good way to snag on something. Can it be mounted on top for more clearance? Any, if any difference? Putting my c notch in now so the installation of arms will be next. Thanks for any and all help..... Jay
