    Hey guys. I have been working on trucks for many years now and I feel like I can offer some shade tree welding to folks that need it.

    figured I would create a thread to post the things I build and see where it goes.

    CMCs
    Hi-Lift slider adapters
    Small custom fab
    King shock rebuilds
    Suspension lift installs


    follow along on instagram @steelcityfab to see all the things I do.

    It's a great service you offer. I suggest posting some picture of your welds.

    Probably, but it’ll be down the road (hopefully not too far). I just don’t have a tube bender at this point.
