RE EXTREME DUTY LONG ARM SUSPENSION Control arm mount welding

I would like to see some clear photos of the welds required for this kit from anyone who has had it installed and welded. The instructions state "Carefully skip weld the very front and rear edges of the control arm mounts along the bottom and side of the uniframe." I have a vague idea what needs to be done, I would just like some pictures to clarify exactly what they are talking about.

Regards,
Brian

sounds like they want you to stitch weld the brackets. i did it to my RK brackets on the frame side (in addition to bolting them on). dont have any pictures though... kinda like 1" of weld, 1" no weld, 1" weld, etc.

Just weld it. SO long as your making good welds more cant really hurt.

My entire x-member for my 3 link is welded on.. about a foot of welds per side.
