    I didn't see if this question was ever answered. Starting to hack tomorrow so a head start on knowing would be cool.

    You might need to grind the weld flat on that part, but I think that was all one customer needed to do, then you can put the tower corner right under the corner of that bracket

    yes that’s all I did was ground the half of the mount that fit over the bracket flat and it worked out well!

    These bad boys showed up on Monday. Can’t wait to get the rest of the parts together so I can burn them in!

    You should be alright. Vertical downhill is pretty hard to fuck up. Just verify the settings are right on the welder and zig zag back and forth as you move down.

    Quick question. Any reason not to tack weld the nut on the back of the upper mount?

    Yep exactly. If the nut gets damaged then you’re screwed. I just used a hole saw and cut a little hole in the bed to make my life easier. If I wanted to I could pop in a grommet to seal it off but didn’t see the point with an open bed.

    Why not just use the little flat wrench provided by Archive with the kit? As everyone else has said you'll have alot of work/hassle if you need to replace the nut.
