just welding a pipe on it, don't make it legal, needs to be braced and whatnot. why not just solid axle it? you can buy a 6" lift and crank it to 7"

well i ain't gonna argue with you, but that don't work with all cops, the guy must not have read his regulation book. read the link, sub 4, welding a pipe doesn't cut it. not trying to be a dink, i hate getting stopped by the heat for something stupid.
