    Heres my plan for tomorrow. Im gonna tell the guy, look lets weld it up because I dont wanna deal the bs of ordering parts and having them installed etc. If it breaks, however, I want the LCA replaced. I personally know the owners, they’re friends of mine. I know they back their work up.

    All of this is unless my boye @whatstcp can get me in contact with that guy he knows. In that case Ill ask for the LCAs to be mounted for free, and the cost of one LCA deducted from the price of the shock install job itself.

    I bet them OEM bolt was seized in the shock and had to be cut off when lift was installed. Someone got after it a little too much when cutting the bolt. That's also not an OEM lower shock bolt.

    I'd just weld it. I have all sorts of stress cracks on my LCAs that have been welded.

    Depends if it's Mexican or Mexicant :laugh:

    No really the LCA is built in Mexico along with the frame.

    Yep. Just follow normal best practices for welding. Remove the shock to avoid heating the rubber bushing. Clean/degrease the area. Spray some rust paint on it afterwards.
