try OMIX or Chrysler. ive gotten axle side OEM control arm mounts from omix before, so they may have the frame side also

haha, if im understanding correctly what you're trying to do, you're looking for factory LCA frame mounts re-welded back onto factory locations, right?

well, i still have these, & am wanting to go with a long arm set up....so i was thinkin, if you were interested, i'd remove my mounts & trade you factory uppers, LCA mounts, & fixed non-OEM lowers (not sure what brand), for your long arm set up (+ $$, if there's a big value difference)

You could Probably sell the shell like it is w/o the front suspension to a jeep speed guy. What you looking to get out of your scrap vehicle.

or you could also take it to scrap yard when your done to get some money back
