Thanks guys

I agree with the welds I still got alot to learn but I consider myself capable now lol. The thing that bothered me the most were the welds on the notches. I found out after i was done makin the bird poop welds that the polarity was switched around on the welder. Before I painted the frame I ground down the welds and re did it. It came out pretty good.

The front only allowed me to fit re-6 it took a couple days to get it right. Its a really tight fit but it works fine.

This is at 60-80 psi my compressor sucks so it should lift a couple more inches.
