Please tell me this is normal...
Monkeying around under my truck tonight and I notice this:
I know the pics aren't the best, but what you see is a non-continuous spot in the frame rail, right above the sway bar link mount. If it's not supposed to be this way I'm NOT going to be a happy camper.

The rivets are all where they are supposed to be, I was just concerned when I noticed that it appeared that the frame had been cut and spliced back together with rivets and welds, but apparently it's the norm so I'm good.

It is perfectly normal... Mine looks identical and all the other trucks I have seen have that same spot.
