Caution when welding the IRS brackets in place Using the jig do so very slowly so as not to heat up the metal too much and cause distortion on the chassis.

Don't forget to bolt a brace across the rear forks before you start. Prefferably use a large piece of angle iron, other wise they will twist and warp.

2ndly have you bolted it all back togeather yet ? Once you do get a 4 wheel alignment to make sure your tow, camber and caster are set correctly.

Lastly congrats I told you it was pretty easy :D
