Oh. Thats cool. So alls you have to do is remove the LCAs and then reweld the entire seams on the body where the LCAs are bolted in? I have friends who weld. Is it really hard to get at or fairly easy?

Ive also heard stuff about welding axle tubes? Whats the purpose in this? anyone?

yeah but i would say a stitch weld would be stronger than a full bead.

the axle tubes can spin causing the bearings to bind up and tear up the axles. anything over 450 hp its recommended to weld them. they dont have to be fully welded, a 1 inch tack would be fine, but while your there might as well do the whole thing
