That looks really bad man. The frame there is 2 pieces slid together and welded, looks like youre starting to split right along that seam...

That is what i thought . But i didnt see a weld on it from the bottom . I checked the top of the frame and it looks fine .

I guess this gives me a reason to do a frame swap this winter .

I got it fixed . Welded the seam back up and then plated the inside of the pocket with 1/4 in plate . I went ahead and replaced all the bushing , tie rods ,centerlink, napa ball joints , and put another set of 3/4 entended a-arms on it . Ilike the stance on it now .

Did you cut the teeth out this time? That is why you had the problem, if you cut the teeth out you will be good to go.

Sure did . Couple of them were breaking off anyways.
