I thought that you guys would get a kick out of this. It is actually on my newly aquired rig.. Not for long though..
The welds do apper to be professional and strong though...

I like the way the front springs are "bent" with it sitting on the ground!!

BTW, it is because the spring perches are mounted about 2"s too narrow on both front corners, and the front was streched about 3"s without any corrections to the upper spring mount.

H3ll NO... I have 3 little ones, and one more on the way. I would never take any chances with them... But I have driven it.. Even got it so stuck a couple weeks ago so bad I had to get a dozer to pull me out.
