    Well, the gussets are about $70, pick your vendor of choice, I would recommend the JD fab ones based on personally cracking all other manufacturers designs over the years. If you don't want to ship them, your options are either learn to weld or find someone local, not sure what kind of answer you are looking for there.

    I think I am going to go ahead with RC Fabrication. Nyonly concern is I want to be able to use the sway bar so I would like to use someone that has made a bunch of them since the vehicle won’t be there .
    Morgantown isn’t too far away so I would like to talk to him about welding up some bumper kits. This build is for a local youth in our community so we have some time to get things done . It will be given to him at Trailfest in Gilbert Wva next year. After that it is traveling to overland expo East.

    I would just go with a local welder, faster and cheaper. I've run JD Fab with the double shear steering tab kit as well as Total Chaos. The Total Chaos spindle gusset is legit and allows for the sway bar. The only reason I switched was I had an extra set of spindles and moved from a 2+ to 4.5+ with heim tie rods other wise I would have kept the TC kit.
