Passenger axle beam. I decided it would be a smart idea to reinforce the axle beams. ive had the problem of bending them a couple times in my old 96 when jumping and there not fun to replace. I had some long strips of steel that I had laying around it it worked pretty good. im not an expert welder by anymeans so they don't look pretty but they definitely got good penetration and I did 2-3 passes. I painted them with primer for rust prevention

also my extended arms needed some work on them done after all the jumping I did in my 96 with them. the tabs that bolt to the upper and lower of the axle beam were bent which would affect the alignment badly. also i extended the tabs some so it would pivot more without binding. the reason that was done is because when I try to move the axle more forward a couple inches to center the wheels in the wheelwell, they would bind before I could get them in the position I needed. extending the tabs fixes that
