Core support rusted body mount issue
I just "inherited" a 1991 f150. I primarily use it to fish and may do some minor off-roading. I put some 33s on and felt like it needed a lift. Being a play truck I opted for the cheap body lift.
Anyway, I began the install today. I got all of the body mount bolts loose/removed. It wasn't till I got to the last one that I noticed the core support (on the battery side) is so rusted that it's barely hangin on.
Is there an easy fix without having to replace the whole thing? I'm guessing it's not safe to put the body lift on like this or is it.

Pictures would be much more helpful for us to determine the extent of the repair needed. You have available picture space on your user profile if you need a place to host them. Just click "User CP" on the blue menu bar near the top of the screen and then "Pictures and Albums" on the left.

You're probably right. The reason I asked him to post pictures is because there may be some other support work that needs to be done, such as replacing a bracket or other related part that's important for structural stability.
