2600 bags in 61 arms

[joe dirt]

im in the process of putting these d2600 bags in the front of my 61 that has the stock arms with 2" step...im going to have to trim some off the sides of the top portion to make more room...im curious how much this will weaken the arms if any,..also the plate under will be welded completely, im thinking the plate will help strengthen it a lot,,,whatcha think?

also I know most people use the upper bag mounting plate,..but im just going to mount it to the xmember without it,..these torsion trucks had it plated from the factory
