Don't feel bad, head scratching abounds. Did my fair share with a set of sliders for a friends XJ yesterday and today. Rockers are pretty fubar and the pinch seam rolled out and in like the Colorado river! Don't get paid enough to do this stuff. And I still have to finish them tomorrow!

I could probably weld some D ring tabs to the four corners and lift the Heep with a crane. Still need to add a couple of gussets to them though. Since I ran the kickers up tight to the floor pan I could only weld three sides of the front three on both sides of the rig. The rears on either side are welded to the stiffeners and the front leaf spring mount along the leading edge and back up on the outside corner. We'll find out how well it works, 'cause he assured me he'd test 'em out. On purpose. Just wish the pinch seam hadn't been so fubar. I'da really liked to drill and tap them for some grade 8, 1/4x20 bolts and fasten them to the pinch seam. And I kinda doubt there'll be any deformation of the tube. I think each one weighed about 40 pounds. 1/4 wall structural steel is stupid heavy.

They are, but a pretty Jeep wasn't at the top of the list when he started, wheeling was. He's an 18 year old kid who likes to actually get out and wheel.
