You do great work and easily one of my favorite youtubers bro!!! Can I make a suggestion. When you heat up cast to weld to it, it's also very important to cool it down slowly. We used to wrap the axle into a fiberglass blanket then regular blankets, that way it slowly cools down. You're going to be fine but just as FYI for next time. Id love to wheel with ya sometime. I'm by Ocotillo wells if you're ever out this way! Edit: you literally said you're going to wrap it in blanket 2 seconds after I posted this 🤣🤣🤣

The old T&J upper shock mount used a threaded bolt, with something similar to what you made. I’ve also seen braces welded over to the coil spring mount on the unibody. Wondering if the shock mounts are surviving or not? Also you probably know that limit straps can stretch over time.
