Does it have holes for the drier side track bar bracket pre drilled?
I really would like a set of those, but I don't want to deal with notching them for the bumper and having to do a bunch of extra work, mostly because I am lazy. You tie them into the mid section stiffners?

here's the other side. I took some pics of the fitment too
here's the holes for the bumper and steering box. everything will still bolt back on. although I had to wrestle the plating with a couple big clamps to get them to line up
and here's my only gripe. the rear doesn't line up very well. hangs a little low but that's ok because my ruffstuff plates will cover these up. still a good kit I'd recommend it. I'd like to see how these compare to the liquid iron industries ones, fitment wise

I haven't welded anything since the 70s when I learned to weld chrome moly tubing and have wanted some welding equipment for a long time. Now that I have a project I found a new Lincoln Pro 180c with cart, tank and gas for the price of a new 180c. It was a floor model at Praxair. I still need to pick up Oxy Acetylene tanks and gas (and a cart) for sheet metal panel butt welding and some heat for certain types of metal forming. I already have the torch, gauges, and hoses.

And shop around at flea markets. I got plenty of hammers and dolly there for real cheap
