I used the same as what you have. I prefered to use 3x3x3/16 but my steel guy gave me the 1/4 cheap.
The sawzall may stay in its case. The rockers will fall to the die grinder and the lower arm mounts will meet their end via plasma cutter.

Got some more done this morning. I have the crossmember all finished. All it needs is to be scuffed and painted. Here it is. I TIG'd the long arm brackets on at about 250amps so I know that shit is on there. Top  Bottom   Here is the bottom arm. I also TIG'd this whole thing. Both ends were heavy multipass affairs. The bushings and sleeves and Johnny Joints were all from extremecrawlers.com. The square inserts were from ballistic.com   Here is the studs I got from ballistic welded to the sleeves from extreme. They fit perfect out of the box. No gaps. Obviously TIG. These will be welded in the square 1 1/2x1/8 for the top Y link.  I also finished completely welding in the unibody stiffeners so I need to paint them and the crossmember and install them for the final time. The uppers will need to be measured and assembled. I will then install the new 4.5 springs, shocks and brakelines. Thanks for looking David |
