We intend this truck to be very dependable and sturdy so we had to beef up the front end a bit. We also want to keep cost down and parts easy to find so we worked with originals as much as possible.
The Front radius arms from the factory are stamped steel so all of the tabs had 3/16 plate added to the outer surfaces, the shock mount we added a back up plate and welded the stud to the plate. Then we added a full web to the open part of the arm allowing clearance for the ”I” beam. You can see a couple of the steps taken in the first two shots to strengthen the web.
Next we added reinforcement plates to both of the front shock/spring perches to which we will eventually be tying into the cage using some tubing.
