I wonder if it might be worth trying to plate them with mild steel? I'd bet they are cast steel or similar, not ductile iron, seeing a bend like that without breaking.

Would be nice to move the failure point to something more readily replaceable, like a ball joint.

I know the guys dropped the truck hard while rolling it back over. I won't let that happen again.

Read a thread on Dezert something or other forum last night where a guy installed F150 coils wich netted him a 3 inch lift but threw the camber off. He V notched and welded the I beams to correct it. Never found out how or if it held up.

Not much progress yesterday.
Nuway had to special order most of the parts I ordered.
Axle I Beam bushings and ball joints?? Maybe because I ordered AC Delco professional?

Anyway while it's stuck on the lift I replaced both front fenders. Pounded out the doors and roof as much as possible.
Cleaning out cab for cage paint inside. Outside was done for last race. Then off to Batavia for some Torq-masters GREEN!

Re did expanded steel for the radiator guard. Welded nuts to the tabs to help with quick removal in the pits for cleaning out mud from radiator.

What is the general consensus on fuel cell baffles?  We pulled the foam in WV. I'd like to put something in.
Wiffel balls from Wayne?
Foam from Timmy for the LJ seems to be ok. Planning to inspect fuel filters ASAP to verify.
