I still think it's pretty cool you had the balls to jump in and link up the front end.  I did some research and found out that the center heim on a 3 link has to be very strong and beefy, since it take's all the load.  The idea of running bolts through it is awesome :thumbs:  I was thinking about your DS frame too.  Try welding it all the way around, then plating it with 1/4 inch and welding that too.  You'll gitter figured out dude.  Linking up an axle is a big job.  Props! :usa:
Go 1-Ton from the start

thanks  bud . ive going to plate it i already have it cut out . my big concern at the point is the steering.the ram put a lot of presure on it you seen what it did to that arm and the rod end. im converting over to heim on the steering and was thinking of doing the extra knucke bolt on the arms where you take out the plug and build off the arm to put in an extra bolt and the i want to plate across the top of it.
