    Yeah don't even consider me for welding skillz yet. I am trying to understand how people weld on the axle tube without creating an issue internally on the tube. :confused:

    Wait what? The brake lines are easy just shift them toward the front of the axle. As long as they get bent nicely they should move.

    Side note gonna be researching welders a bit more. Lowe's is insanely high priced so I think the Birthday money will be used elsewhere at Lowe's.

    Talk to Silas about how to position the shocks. He did something similar to this recently.

    That it is. I think all Silas did was disconnect everything and stuff one side at a time and also droop each side to get the measurements and where the mounts needed to be.
