If I were you I would do some work on those welds. You should clean them up real good with a wire wheel and a grinder. Then run another set of stringers on top of those. You have alot of holes and you did not tie the corners of the welds in. In a few spots the weld looks light also.
Just so you know I do weld for a living. I am a certified x-ray welder with stick and tig. I am not a self proclaim expert, I am just good at what I do.

Looks sweet. How far from the axle are you mounting those arms and what length of arms are you building? I saw that one that looked to be 26".
Also, how do you like those pitbull tires?

Thanks for the compliments & criticism alike ! I had a buddy who is a welding inspector check them out & has properly slapped my hand

Mid Arms: 26" Long Arms: 36" All lowers will be 26". I think my triangulated uppers in the rear will be 31". For the front uppers, errr upper - I think I may just go 3 link. Gonna take a week off, the week after next & my sole goal is to get this thing fired & driving.  I Loved the pitbulls on the trail, best tire - hands down . . . kinda hated them everywhere else. I shed 30lbs a corner going to 37" MT/R's

I am glad to hear that you had someone look over the welds for you.
A grinder is a welders best friend.
