    I was thinking about trying to mount a floor jack in the spare spot under the bed since mine is now in the bed. While reconing my plan I notcied a problem



    There is a crack on the top saddle where the leaf spring should rest. That is the only corner cracked on that one and the other side has no cracks. How worried should I be about this? Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? If I get the crack welded up is that going to be good? And what caused this? :to: :to: :to:

    Not a huge deal, but I would get it welded when you can.
