Frame or steering box mount plate

Postby mhuppertz » Fri Feb 03, 2023 10:58 am

I think I cracked the frame and or steering box mount again!
Going to have to box the frame up front, at 452K I thing the metal is fatigued from bending stress.
Anyone have experience fortifying the front frame?

Take pictures if you do it. All of mine are untouched, but in my future I am sure to be doing that too.

What you have going on for lift and springs?

So far I'm happy to weld mine every so often. I've got the lift modest and it doesn't flex much, so I figure the box can't get pushed around too much.

I have had good luck using a combination of these two products to beef up my steering.
