Plug weld for sure. If you know how to weld well the 135 will be fine. If you have any question about your welding...bring it to me and I will burn it in with my 220. My welder isn't exactly portable.

Yeah I will take you up on that. How much smaller should I cut the Dom for adjustment of the rod ends??

I like to leave about 6 threads hanging out of the bung.

Are you running the GM TRE's? gonna flip it knuckle under? If so I have the reamer you can borrow but you'll have to get it from Justin.

Trei, I'm happy to connect with you to get the reamer to ya. Depending on when you do the install, I'd be happy to help turn wrenches as well if you'd like.

Define "South". My cousin is a good welder and has a 220v. in the 'Springs.

My Ruffstuff steering stuff just arrived today! They seem like a good company to work with, but they didn't even know they had shipped my tubing & were ready to re-ship it today. I called them to tell them their order came in, just as UPS was there to pick up. I guess, if I hadn't bothered to tell them, I could have had 2x the DOM, but I was a small business owner for 10 years & have a conscience. Damn it.
Sorry to hijack, just got excited.
