After a few quick searches I couldn't find a answer to the question of guys welding their 07 and older shackles to beef them up.
A few weeks ago my passenger side shackle went, just like lots of guys and shot through the bed of my truck. :crybaby: I couldn't wait to order PRG's so I just bought the 08 OEM and installed it.
I don't want to buy the PRG's now that I have a new 08 shackle on so the question is... can I weld my drivers side shackle with the same style of plate that the new 08's have on them? Has anybody done this yet? Would I have to get the bushing out before welding it?
I could just buy another new one but at $55 for it, and me having a welder and shop to use I would like to see if I could go this route first.
