^This. Find out what your specs are, it's good to know what your duty cycles are...

Does it have holes for the drier side track bar bracket pre drilled?

I really would like a set of those, but I don't want to deal with notching them for the bumper and having to do a bunch of extra work, mostly because I am lazy. You tie them into the mid section stiffners?

the track bar bracket mounts above the frame plates so you can still bolt on an aftermarket bracket no prob it seems. right now my issue looks like it's going to be the steering box bolts don't line up, we'll see. I haven't burned in the driver side yet. they overlap with the ruffstuff middles so yes they will be tied in.

here's the other side. I took some pics of the fitment too

here's the holes for the bumper and steering box. everything will still bolt back on. although I had to wrestle the plating with a couple big clamps to get them to line up

and here's my only gripe. the rear doesn't line up very well. hangs a little low but that's ok because my ruffstuff plates will cover these up. still a good kit I'd recommend it. I'd like to see how these compare to the liquid iron industries ones, fitment wise

I haven't welded anything since the 70s when I learned to weld chrome moly tubing and have wanted some welding equipment for a long time. Now that I have a project I found a new Lincoln Pro 180c with cart, tank and gas for the price of a new 180c. It was a floor model at Praxair. I still need to pick up Oxy Acetylene tanks and gas (and a cart) for sheet metal panel butt welding and some heat for certain types of metal forming. I already have the torch, gauges, and hoses.
