Default Weld or bolt DSE spring perch?

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.

No no no you MUST weld them you can not leave them just bolted it states that in the DSE instructions 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.
