your threads had to be junk in the first place

Payne welding the rib area wil keep that area from breaking, but it will break where it starts to neck down to the ribs if the trans and t-case are not supported correctly.

definitely better than stock and wasn't doggin it. Just sayin it will break right before it if it is not "mounted/supported correctly"
