I have a Full-Traction long arm suspension that I've been running for awhile (like 6 years and 50+ thousand miles). I recently purchased a set of T&T frame stiffeners to beef up the unibody while I can still close my doors properly. The way I see it I have at least 2 options to install the stiffeners but thought I'd get some input first.
1st - I could remove all the Full-Traction bracketry and install the stiffeners, then re-install the Full-Traction bracketry. Adding all new holes as needed into the stiffeners to install the brackets. (and I have the option to weld the brackets to the outside of the stiffeners as well)
2nd - Leave all the Full-Traction brackets in place and weld them to the "frame". Then carefully cut the stiffeners to fit around the brackets and weld them to the "frame" and to the brackets. Essentially making the brackets part of the stiffeners.
Just lookin to see what opinions/advice you might have on these 2 options and why they may be good or bad. Thanks.
