So I've got a couple questions...

First, it's clear for some reason that the PO of this frame had some "ideas" and tried to flatten out the bend in the frame on the passenger side. My question is, why is this here? If I don't need to have it then I might just cut it out and weld in a new piece.

Next question, did Chevy really weld the bumper onto the frame? This sounds crazy to me as every other vehicle I've had it's been bolted on. But with the bed on it does sit in the correct place. I'd like to cut it off and do something a bit more fun.

Plus with closer inspection on the rear springs I can see the one that isn't dropping is bent. I ordered new springs today along with new bushings for the control arms & traction bar.
