You should box the truss in to make it look more beefy

mmm, looks scrumptious

i wanna do this to my 8.25....soon as i'm not broke, & then get a welder & then learn to weld....

where u putting the shock mounts? just higher up on the housing?? i've seen them welded to the leaf spring top mounting plate....any benefit to that??
