Ben,
Thanks for the offer. Sean was able to weld the stock tabs back on when I ripped both the DS and PS tabs off last year. We're going to go with some 1/8" plate with a 7/16" hole this time so the end link won't be able to move around like it can with the stock tab.
I'm definitely thinking about working over another set of housings with beefed up tabs from the start (i.e. before putting the Koni inserts into them )
