So my portion of the lift is completed, new tires, looks good and all. Brought it in to my mechanic to see if he would do my SYE, do the alignment and tighten down the control arm brackets in the process. He got the vehicle Monday at noon, it is now Saturday, and I won't be seeing the Jeep again until Tuesday at best. It went in with a few issues, the CA drop brackets didn't fit tight and the bump needed to be ground off, no biggie, the four bolts that held in the crossmember that supports the t-case, etc. weren't threaded all the way and it needed an alignment. The SYE wound up taking a few days, on day 2 I got a panicked phone call asking if I could bring the instructions in...finally today eveything else is done, and its time to do the alignment and send it home and apparently now one of the stock CA brackets is bent, the nub still needs to be ground off and he wants to weld the brackets down to the frame, to solve the issue with the bolts for the crossmember not threading all the way because of the added width of the brackets he wants to weld that in place...seriously...is that a good idea, I mean if it ever needs service I'm going to need a grinder and an air chisel to get the thing off...what do we think? I've used this guy for a while now, hes almost a friend of the family I guess, but I'm not sure I want to go along with this.
Thanks,
