I did cut off those crown tabs on the coil pockets and reinforced it with 3/8th plate. I had to do it with two pieces of plates so it would be able to fit side to side, then welded both plates together and both sides. No need for donuts and no more risk of mushrooming. It's a must if you're gonna hop.
Welding 90° plate cuts and vertical plate cuts weakens frame. It's like slicing the frame, weakens the structural integrity. Gaps welded should not exceed 3/16th but preferably no gaps.
Bless the knowledge 🙏 keep making them videos

What part is considered the ears ?
Where the upper front control arms(A arms) mount to.
Why go from .30 wire to .35?
To put down bigger thicker welds to go back to smooth it out with a grinder for that mold clean look.
