Is it going to affect anything having your frame and body tied together like that?

Thanks, I just wasnt sure if it would add any extra vibrations or anything. Usually stuff mounted to the frame and body are isolated with some type of rubber bushing

I've heard people say not to do that, but I had a Scrambler that we did it to and had no problems.

a lot of people would tell you not to weld to the frame, but I've done it several times in different vehicles with no problem.

Very nice man! The frame welding makes me nervous but hey, if it works for you then good deal.
