Hello, and
to the forums. Hope you enjoy the stay, and learn a lot, and can teach others what you already know.
The first thing that always comes to mind when someone wants to do this, is it legal where you are? I think only 14 states allow it and since we don't know where you are are. we don't know if it is legal.
Next being a 2004, frame warranty is gone, so find a competent welding shop and get a prices.
