Thank you sir. He has a young daughter he wants to drive with so that old work had to go.

It's scary to think that an actual "shop" was responsible for the original suspension design.

Just to clarify, the shop he got it from didn't do the work. They just painted a logo on it and drove it around. The original bag job was done in Texas. Not sure by who though.

It is done as the welds cool in order do decrease the stress and reduce the likelihood of the welds cracking. Mild and cast steel have different cooling rates and it is really common for welds on cast steel to crack.
