Weld or bolt DSE spring perch?

[aany001]

Guys I installed my diff and leafs for the last time I hope and was wondering do I have to weld up DSEs spring perch to the diff or bolt it up and call it a day? If it is only bolted down what is the torque spec of the spring perch and also the spec for the u bolts? Thanks guys.:cheers:

No no no you MUST weld them you can not leave them just bolted it states that in the DSE instructions :yes: you would have one ugly mess if you left them only bolted and not welded!

Ya I was worried that they wouldn't hold up. Only crappy thing is everything
Is painted and assembled so its gonna a be tuff one to weld
Those suckers! Is that how everyone does this or should I have
Welded them in mock up stage? I never welded them before causee
I wanted paint on the tube under those perches cause the
Diff was in bare metal. Oh well we will see how it goes. Thanks
Rick.
