I am planning on boxing the rear frame of my sy soon and adding the ridetech rear 4-link. I like your idea of using the angle iron to help support it as its quick and easy to do and I won't have to waste a bunch of jack stands to keep it supported!
Good luck with the project its looking really good  |
Thanks, I am excited to see the final product myself, LOL. Yes, i will be boxing and adding gussets at every angle as much as possible. I will post pics along to show you all i'm doing. I actually tack welded 4 angles, 2 at the rear and 2 just rear of where i cut the frame. Prior to all this, i measured the original frame from every possible angle i could measure it. Overkill in measuring is your best friend. Go ahead and measure things that you may think are unimportant because it just may pay off in the end. Using the vertical angle supports as i have keeps everything exactly as it was before height wise. Drop me a line if you have any questions or would like to see a specific picture of what i have done.
