    The most would be a small tack and maybe a 1/4" bead at most which isn't enough

    Any way to cut a piece of steel to fit between the coilbucket and bump. That can sit flat against the frame. Weld the bracket to that piece then weld the flat piece to the truck?

    What I mean is something like this but shaped to fit in your spot.

    That's a great idea! I'll try to see what I can come up with. Thanks for the idea. I did some research on other 3rd gens with the same kit and found 2 pictures with it in that spot so it is possible. Baja kits uses a different mounting tab location on the LCA and angles it towards the rearward section of the frame.

    They ground the bevel down past the edge/lip of the groove in a couple of spots so I’m not going to risk it. Sounds like the guy is not going to argue the refund luckily.

    I have gotten a few reman axles that were beveled like that. Always hit or miss. I agree with Basikbiker though, if it will hold the c-clip it’s fine.
