re: Skyjacker 4" lift
Ok, I was at Skyjackers website and read the directions for the 4" lift. It says something about having to "weld" a bracket to the front crossmember? Along with bolting it to the frame. There reason for doing this is so the frame doesn't crack. Has anyone had any expierience with this?
Thanks,
Rich

re: Skyjacker 4" lift
It is recommended that you weld the axle pivot bracket for added strength in addition to the bolts, but you'll be ok with just the bolts. They do that for liability. If you're going to be doing some SERIOUS off road, weld it, if not, just use the bolts.
Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds
.
That's it for mods now, saving for a Stang. Check out my Gallery for a look-see.

re: Skyjacker 4" lift
Well, I welded mine because the instructions said so, but like Ryan said you'll be fine without it.
