Welded on a set and they are as advertised - Strong - you won't be disappointed! As I'm sure you know, make sure the welder takes his time - those axles hold heat for a long time!

If you have a higher mileage JK or just like to be once and done. Take this time to replace your ball joints with greasable/serviceable ones. plus you can weld on the gussets while they are out which makes it easier. The taking your time and welding a little at a time as far as I have read was so you didn't boil the grease out of, ie: cook, the stock ball joints.

Did it! Small price to pay for just in case piece of mind. Just be careful not to overheat the ball joints.
