The suspension section doesn't seem to have a "stock" suspension help forum so I'm posting here.
94 4.0L ext cab
Driver side, front leaf mount rusted/broke from frame. Im a fabricator and welder and have my portable unit with me but I'm not at my shop/home. Never had to do this repair so looking for advice and tips on fixing this.
My thoughts are to jack up the rear from the frame to make the leaf mount fall into stock position. Clean up the area and attempt to weld it back in place. I luckily have a few scrap pieces of flat stock that will help reinforce the area.
I guess I'm looking for help more int he how to get the mount back to where I want it, anything to look out for when welding it back on, etc. The upper half of the mount is still connected to the frame, the lower portion where the leaf eye mounts is separated.
