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

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!
