Well we could have tack welded them from underneath but we come from a race car and boating background and always overdo things to prevent or prolong failure. We griped about it but did it anyway. Ha ha It was easier with help this time and a floor jack and shorter bolts. If you have someone tack it on from underneath be sure to disconnect your battery!! Also I wanted to paint them to prevent rust and we had to grind off paint and then repaint so, yuk, took them off. I used a good oil based primer and good acrylic enamel. I figure they are gonna get wet and muddy alot. Starting tomorrow actually!
I did not weigh them but could figure it out. They are heavy! If I come down on them with a 5000 lb vehicle they better be! You can lay a lot better bead on the top side. I hate welding upside down. With these and my wider spring shackle skid front and rear of springs and GM skid plate under carriage and new Mickey Thompson MTZ's Im ready to do some field testing..............
