    Just because you do it once and nothing bad happened, doesn't make it a good idea.

    SAS isn't for rallying. Maybe you should try your luck at a budget long travel build :D

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    I'm sorry dude your truck is going to fall apart with welds like that. You need to have someone grind those off and run another bead to make sure you have good penetration of the steel. Hell drive it out here I'll do it for free just so you don't kill yourself or someone else.

    yeah honestly i know its awesome to say you did it all yourself. but seriously look at that weld.. do you think it would hold up to a good hit or some intense wheeling? just get someone to re weld that.... you will regret not taking him up on that in a while...

    just do it.

    You welded solid steel wire with no gas and didn't grind it off and do it over on a suspension welds :eek: Dude go fix that and if that's the worst weld I want to see the rest it don't need to be pretty but it should be strong.
