I finished installing the 4 link and 9". I decided to keep my frame rails since they are in great shape and thicker replacements were offer $500.
I tried to strengthen the frame and 4 link bracket to prevent cracking. It looks like the other cars frame cracked in front of the 4 link cradle/bracket. This is where the frames are thinnest from being bent.
I took a piece of 1/8 angle iron to strengthen this area. I welded it to the ridetech bracket hoping it would help distribute the load. I also welded the ridetech bracket in a few spots to help secure it.
