All I can say is dang Dodge! My frame has a lot of surface rust on it so I'll have to keep an eye on mine.

Just curious here, are you hotshotting up in Williston, ND? I can't make it out in your avatar but it looks like a drill rig in the background.

I have seen them do that but they tore in a different spot, pretty common in my area. Sent you a PM.

reweld it and the weld a washer over it? look for aftermarket spring hangers? call dealer and see if you can order a factory one... some you can.

Here's today's progress not much but it's a start think im just going to fix what's there but I do have a chunk of frame with the pedisol on it that I could cut off and re weld to frame but I've heard that's usually where they break looks like the shackles wore the hole out so it least I know what caused it

looks good, so you are all set and ready to go for another week? :bang

 

[jimbo486]

Good deal. I would've considered welding some thick washers over the holes to reinforce them a little.

That crossed my mind about 15 times as I was welding it all back together

I ended up welding a bushing in there about an inch thick and I put a couple fish plates over the outside I hope it lasts a little while anyway here it is just before I put the box back on
