AJE suspension coil over conversion kit for a-body

*Rant ON* Why is it so hard to give people my money??? I tried calling various body shops today looking for someone who would be willing to remove the brackets. A few turned me down and a few tried to tell me how to use a spot weld cutter to do it. One guy wanted to use a plazma torch who I turned down. *Rant Off*

After doing more research today on this task ahead of me. I really dont want to do this work on the chassis as if I go too deep, I then have to pay the vary same person to weld it. Its better for me to just pay the very person to remove the brackets the first time correctly and if they go too deep feel safe in the knowledge that its being filed and repaired correctly. $300 would be worth the less than 1hr it would take to safely remove 6 spot welds per bracket.

I aint the sharpest tack in the box, but if U need to remove those brackets, why dont u get a sawzall and cut them at a steep angle from the outside down , even w/ the frame ? you could even then cut straight up and down from under it to remove the sides that are sticking out, just leaving the frame intact/clean the cuts up w/ a side grinder ------------------?
I only gave $1900 for my complete front end, already assembled and just dropped out , willwood brakes/rack and pinion/non power tho. The guy was afraid of it "he said" of coming down hard from wheelies , and he said it had 9 runs on it on a 9 second duster.
I think all the bad press about magnum force scared him. It was tight and had no play in anything , and it didn`t have the engine mounts on it , I would be afraid of it if it did , it still seems to be tite to this day, but doesn`t have heim joints on the upper control arms, which makes it a little stiffer . I have had no problems w/ it , except for getting it loosened up for some front end rise/travel --------------
Hang in there u can eventually make urs work .
