I was looking at the front end to see if I was going to have tie rod clearance if I pushed my front axle forward an inch or so by redrilling the spring pad...
Looks like that will not be an issue but found something I always knew was a possibility:

I know the right way would be to pull the steering box and plate the frame..that is something I want to do but am wondering if something like this might work for a good temp fix(borrowed from pirate) so I could still drive the truck, just not wheel:

this is something I had meant to do for a few years...might have prevented the crack above..
i am thinking I will see if I can do something about this gap that I believe is from the factory.

If you made those Bubblegum welds on the spring hanger

I don`t have much faith in your repair.

Best bet might be to just resection that whole section of frame.

If that part is bad what is the rest like???

rest of the frame seems fine.

Resectioning is a possibility. it would allow me to fix the IFS box mount..

Tear it down fix and plate. Do it right and forget about it.
