It's not an easy kit install. My install was a PITA. _____________________________ Dave- 01 blazer 4x4, 6" Superlift Kit,15x8 on 32''s and 20"x9" on 33''s,New Jersey Chapter www.subsonickustomz.com NJ,MI,IN,WI,IL,CO,MN,AZ,NC, (in reply to Cmatt1605) Post #: 2

Not sure how well a torch welder would work. You might wanna give the guys at Superlifts a call regarding installation techniques. I've called them before with questions and they were very helpful throughout my install. _____________________________ Dave- 01 blazer 4x4, 6" Superlift Kit,15x8 on 32''s and 20"x9" on 33''s,New Jersey Chapter www.subsonickustomz.com NJ,MI,IN,WI,IL,CO,MN,AZ,NC, (in reply to Cmatt1605) Post #: 5

I think any welder would do, just make sure you do them. _____________________________ (in reply to nj4x4blaze) Post #: 6

A good weld is not hard to make. A good looking weld is. Strong durable welds are not difficult to do, now making it look good is the hard part. If you dont care about the look of the weld then you should have no problems.. _____________________________ -Aaron "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath." -James 1:19 (in reply to GeorgesBlazah) Post #: 7
