A question for those you have done the IFS box
Im checking out the instructions now and im getting hung up on one part, that I want to get cleared up before I start:
There is two plates, inner which the sleeves will fit thew
and the outer which the sleeves with NOT fit threw.
it says drill the holes for the sleeves and put them threw the frame, then tells you to take the outer plate and put it on the frame and weld the outer plate to the tubes. how can I get in there to weld those together when those tubes are the ones that do not go threw the plate?
Also with the rock defense frame reinforcement kit do you weld that on first or after the power steering box?
thanks, I did a lot of searching on this with a lot of good write ups just no step by steps.

Fit up plates. Clamp them on. Test fit IFS box for clearance with pitman arm ON.
Mark on the frame the holes. Drill out. Insert tubes FLUSH with outer side of the frame. Tack in place on outside of frame. Weld out on outside of frame. Grind flush.
Put plates back on. Backside plate should now sit on the frame tubes that extend out. Weld out should now be obvious.

I ended up welding the sleeves to the outer plate before installing it. Then put the sleeves through the frame and inner plate and welded them all together.

If the sleeves don't fit through the outer plate and the bolts must go through the holes of the outer plate, there is no room to weld the sleeves to the outer plate except on the inside with a fillet weld and then your plate will not sit flush up against the frame. Weld the sleeves to the outer plate in the hole itself and the bolts will not fit. Not possible to do it like this unless you somehow modified the outer plate.
