Hi all.....can I weld onto the body mount brackets or should it come straight off the chassis? or both? :)

depends wether the bar is to be engineered
if so you will need the points where you weld the bar to checked by an engineer and approved for welding or if bolting to body tub you will need backing plates (google or DOT search will bring up the requirements)
personally not sure what hapens with cab chassis, but monocorque construction every thing has to be engineered and more so if bar is welded to body
