Anyone did that? Looks like my right one wants to divorce the body...... I"m thinking about bulding set of reinforcements similar to what the MJ's come with....

I'm thinking I may do so when I get around to throwing new LCA brackets on my axle as well. Post up pics of whatever you come up with!

Cut them off, plate it and weld on a new, smoother mount. Here's the ones from Poly Performance on my TJ.

Ok... so the scoop is I took the easy way out and threw rod at it 
I'm pretty sure I know when the original damage to this one happened (couple years ago I nailed a huge rock and caved in the drivers side mount and frame rail) so I figured go through the cracked weld, separated joint and it'll be all good. Also layed a couple of beads on the edges that were only spot welded originally. We'll see how it holds up.

Scott Rozman wrote a tech article on MADXJ years back. He used a set of replacement MJ mounts and welded them over the old ones. The article is still there on MADXJ.com > Click on Technical articles.

If I still ran a short arm setup, I'd do what Paul S did way back when and chop off the stock LCA and move them back and up, so you can run a mid-length LCA. Better angles and ground clearance too.
