It might be a pain, but I would still cut those tabs off, and install a pad. Duplicating their position isn't difficult. Make gussets to fit the tab where it sits now. Mark the frame from the center of the tab in both directions. Cut the tab off. Fit the pad where you want it, and tack it on. Transfer the lines from the pipe to the pad. Position the tab according to the new marks on the pad, add the gussets, and fry it up.

Ahh, shoot, I need to make sure of something here. I was concerned with the possible weakness in the tabs on the rear suspension.
Darnit I downsized that twice on PB and it's still the same size.
Anyway, in the picture that you have there, the torsion bars are just laying there and nothing is welded.
This is what it looks like right now, an it's not completely welded on yet, but it goes from the white line, all the way around to the other side, and of course there's two per side.
How does that look?
