Default Which lower Mounts should i get?

i tore up my lower axle mounts and am now getting around to fixing them. i figured i would go with ballistic fabrication mounts but which ones do i get? they have offset options and such and im unsure of which ones i should buy.
Here is the link http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/...ts_p_1397.html

If yall know of a better mount from somewhere else that would be appreciated. also, should i have a shop weld these on or could i do it myself or have a friend who is a welder do it? Thanks guys

Check some reviews of Ballistic and you'll see they have a bit of a reputation for jerking people around. Lots of other companies make them that are specific to your front axle unlike those. I run Rusty's and haven't had any issues with them. Just make sure you get some that are a decent thickness, 1/4" is good, and ones that are made for your axle so you have the least ammount of fab.

I have had trouble with ballistic fab not getting my parts to me. Now cant get my money back from them.

I was getting new mounts like that for the rusted ones on my axle.

I was getting this kit from them http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/...it_p_1542.html.

There stuff is nice.

Thinking of getting this now http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merch...egory_Code=XDT.

You might be able to use this bracket but not sure http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/30ALB0.html

I had great service from Ruff stuff.

Hope that helps.

Not trying to point out the obvious but just fill in the blanks and select the ones you want.

Axle diameter: (measure it, I can't recall it)
mounting width: (measure the bushing width of your control arms)
degree offset: (you might not need any, you're placing it on the axle. That's more for true 4-link assemblies.)
