    Anyone know some one that can help me with a CMC or a place that does good welding?

    I can cut and grind I just don't have a welder...

    Thanks!

    Yeah they rub when the suspension is compressed... street driving they are fine.

    But I am on the GB for all pro sliders I need to be able to stuff the 285s and not rub...

    Thanks for the compliment, it's turning into a money pit the fiancé isn't happy haha but I am! Can't wait to get my katzkin in next weekend!

    I'm by no means a professional welder but your more than welcome to come out and we can get it done.
    I use my father-in-laws old garage, I have a welder and nice rocky ground to lay on while we work.
    All it will cost you is a drive out to the country.

    Plus one for Darkhorse, he's a bit expensive but he has my truck right now after me not being able to figure out what's wrong with the front end. He's a bit expensive but a good guy and does good work

    Even started a new mod, 7 pin relocation.
    Tool of choice was a big ass rock.
