Kinda skipping around out of order with this post but….
started replacing some brackets on my Dana 30
Upper control arm mount and track bar bracket
The cardboard is a template/jig I made to relocate the new control arm mount.

This should work out ok

Why are you relocating the mount?

Not relocating. Just replacing

Ah, ok, more beef. Got it.

Track bar bracket next. To eliminate the Swiss cheese left by someone else

Following your Youtube channel. Nice work!

I should look into learning how to weld.

Not going down the rabbit hole… I said it myself even..

Getting the control arms and springs in was not fun.

Shocking.

Just an FYI, those jounce bumpers will give you 1.5" of hard bumpstop at full squish. So, effectively, you have 4.5" of hard bump right now.

What do you recommend

What do you recommend

Pull the springs and cycle the suspension with your tires installed. Do full bump lock to lock. This will determine your added bump stop needed as the tires start to hit things.
