Use a hole saw in the outside and inside of the frame to be able to weld the old frame to the sectioned in tube, this will give you a lot more weld than trying to rely on spot welding through the frame.

Love that brown leather!

Went to talk to a guy that helped straighten bumper yesterday, laid out plans, and concern was expressed over the entire idea, mostly due to moving the location back past where the frame turns up, to get a 12" piece in.
He's hanging out a shingle June 1, so going to wait until the move, consider all other options between.
Ain't it nice?
Folks compliment more the leather than all else. Hahaha.
I've got concerns about this as well Chris. You want to keep it as original as possible but this will make the truck a salvage title. Surely theres a better solution.

Be Lori's problem. Haha.
At the absolute very least, would want to move the rear cross to near the edge of the door, something I can do pretty easy....but feel I'm succumbing to mediocrity.
Time to ponder.
Shocks specs sent, a big milestone. Keep pondering the balance.

No doubt. I'm doing all I can to prolong to avoid the obligatory "for sale" sign upon completion.

It'll only took about 30 unconfirmed emails to finalize the deal
Uhhhh, you mean from today only, right?
That's not to bad, actually.

The reason I am asking is because I bought my'96 with a lift already installed and I have 25" both in the front and rear from hub to bottom of flare. So I wanted to know what stock measures were so I know how much has it lifted.

Then we're both in the same boat.
stock height is usually around 19.5"-20"
