    How important are/when do you need coil bucket gussets?

    im having a hard time finding a fabricator in NC and will keep looking.

    maybe should’ve done it while in there when the truck was at JDFab getting pivots put on to save on labor.

    either that or maybe start trying to learn welding and invest in equipment. Not the first thing I or people I know have needed welded and probably won’t be the last.
    Orange Vulcan MIG or multiprocess 220 welder from harbor freight would probably do it.
    It looks tight on room of a job.

    on the one side, I’ve heard it’s only something you need if it’s a Baja prerunner doing sand jumps.
    And I just do moderate wheeling crawling rocks etc like Colorado type stuff. Overland 4x4 whatever you wanna call it. 4.88 in 4LO.

    on the other side, the parts themselves are cheap and I feel dumb not having it reinforced to match given I have beefier stuff elsewhere in there such as
    -warfab tie rod sleeves
    -pivots
    -basic spindle gusset
    -UCA’s

    what do you think
