Just an FYI, the original brake line supports are drilled and bolted to the frame. Dodge has several paragraphs in their Technical Service Bulletins about NEVER welding to their frames (certified welders read no further). Because of the way these frames were manufactured welding seriously degrades the strenght of the frame. Every PW I've ever seen that had welding on it, also had a crack nearby. There ARE ways to properly weld on the frame, but experience and knowledge is required.
