Keep up the videos ! Great quality and professional work.I use torque seal paint at work and don’t understand why more people don’t. Random question on your pinch welds in the front fender well. Are yours just hammered over? Or cut and welded? I’m not sure how high up to fold mine. Was also thinking about seam sealing them. Not sure if that’s overkill though.

Thanks! Been trying to up the video quality. And my pinch welds are just folded over with a mallet. My front axle is moved about 1.5 inches forward so that’s all the clearance I needed. If you are not cutting then seam sealer would be overkill. I have another video on how to properly clearance for larger tires you can check out for more details.

What are the benefits to OTA track bars

[@machinesinc]

In a perfect world all your suspension links want to be flat at ride height. And for your track bar the higher it is, the higher your roll center is. So OTA helps flatten and raise the track bar to reduce body roll and bump steer.
