Ya, I’ve ran across a post or two long ago in here and where they were talking about welding the rear suspension tubing. I made a check of mine and it wasn’t broken or cracking and periodically check any time I’m looking under there. And with a 2002, I’m always looking under things. LOL

Thanks for the description of things which happen when you move the shock/spring angles and it is those types of things which peek my interest in ways to deal with the fact I no longer have 4 lead batteries back there so weakening the spring and shock effect some could be useful.
