Cool, I'll throw that template in the Jeep, just swing by my work sometime next week (after Monday, I'm off Monday) and pick it up.

You don't just weld the unibody. You need to plate it, get a steering box brace, and a track bar bracket brace. Buy or build them. Trust me, i've been down this road already with mine. And still fighting it.

Same thing I did. It cracked, I welded it and put a steering brace on it. It cracked some more. And another crack started. You need to plate it, get a steering box brace, and a track bar brace. Or it will keep cracking.

You should build a brace from the track bar bracket and tie it into the passenger side like i just did.

Big lift and 35's = very unhappy uni-body Mike. get used to it.
