The place I buy on my welding supplies is mainly a Miller dealer and they swear by them. They also have a full line of welders. An Australian built company. So far she works great

Got some more done tonight. Front axle had the wishbone split and we tacked the bungs on for the heim joints. Drilled the frame for them to bolt too. Next week i will slug the frame with a tube so it wont collapse the frame rail when they are tightened. Also started building the towers and brackets for the air shock. They will get some speed holes put in them and they also get plated and blended on the outsides of the mounts. Some small clearance issues but easily fixed. The caster at ride height is 7°. Should work pretty good

Got the driver side shock mounted. Here is a short video of it moving. Seems to work well. Still alot to do, but it works

thank you sir. I hope to have the whole front end done by the weekend. Unless this snowy weather prevents parts from showing up.

One shock tower all boxed in and cleaned up! It still has to be re shaped to match the driver side but progress is progress!

Dressed up the shock Tower tonight you, hope to get started on the other side tomorrow

You do nice metalwork, lb50.

Thanks man!

Lots done today. Shock towers finished, lower shock mounts finished, frame slugged at radius rod mounts, rear links installed. Then i got some more supplies for the weekend!
