look around for a good 100-140amp mig. check the prices in your local stores, & search classifields! stay away from harbor freight welders, they will only slow your welding improvment down!

I'm thinking the shocks might need to be adjusted down, but first I gotta cut behind the shackles. They come back & hit the back cross member... once I eliminate that bind I can fit the shocks properly. If that makes any sense haha
