Ok, Here's the deal. I'm getting ready to install this:
Rock Krawler 3 link upgrade.
And decided to do this at the same time:
Test fit of 3x3x3/16 angle on my XJ's frame rails.
Here is the Dilemma…. The bracket for the lower control arms connects to the cross member bolts and, usually, gets welded to the frame rail. I will be welding mine to the angle I am using to sleeve my frame rails. Once I drilled the holes for the cross member I noticed this:
Lower cotrol arm bracket lined up with cross member bolt holes.
Another view (I put white tape on the metal so I could mark it easier.)
front of the bracket.
So… Will it be ok if I just weld it the way it is or should I wallow out the holes on the lower arm mount and move it over? It’s hanging about a quarter inch over the angle but the bulk of the bracket is on the angle.
Thanks for any feedack.
