I'm comfortable with welding...i did plenty of it when I had a job
I'm just now learning the techniques involved in heat treating and stress relieving so I'm not yet that familiar with them. I figure as long as I do some stress relief and reinforce the frame it should be fine. Nothing is going to 100% keep this problem from coming back. It's a 21 year old frame and there is a lot of stress applied to the frame from that radius arm drop bracket. As long as the truck stays in one piece another couple years I'll be happy.
