Ya! You dont want to break a weld.... I've heard of rustys brackets starting to crack and pull apart... you really need to reinforce everything and have very solid wells with lots of penetration. If you lose your track bar on a corner...... well nothing nice.

Any addition or removal to a vehicle body which it did not have at factory is a "mod" (modification)

Definitely a mod. Questionably 'homebrew,' but who cares? You gotta start somewhere!
