Can anyone recommend someone in the Ballarat area that can weld on the Atoc rear spring tower reinforcing kit?
Reidy's in Bendigo or 4WD Obsession in Melton
Thanks MudRunner
Do these weld on units need the body to be lifted ?
No Hodge, I have the ATOC kit installed by them and no body lift.Quote:

I would have used one of the bolt on kits, and install them myself, but my spring towers have started to crack, so there is going to be some welding any way.
I ended up getting the weld on tower braces done at Edge Automotive in Howit street Ballarat, after a 4000km trip through outback NSW an SA, with the Patrol loaded up and towing a camper, no further problems, so I can recommend them for the job.

It was $530 for labour, I supplied the Atoc tower brace kit, but it will depend on how bent or damaged the spring towers are.
Mine was the first one they have done, so I let them have it over night, they took there time to prepare and nut out the job.
I trusted them to do it even though they had not done one before, because we take some of our other cars there, and the service and quality of there work have always been very good.
Heres some pics of some of the welding required,,,, the shock and coil needs to be removed but thats a given
Personally I think there could be an easier way, going on the way they break
