k-frame strengthening

Big thread dig but thought i would post in here rather than start new does anyone have pics of how they strengthened the K frame, obviously seam weld the spot welds etc but where did you add metal etc pics would help

Here's some more pictures. The steering box mount gets completely boxed in, and then you add reinforcement around the LCA pivot tubes. The full Firm Feel kit adds reinforcement to the strut rod mounts too, I skip that because I use adjustable strut rods that use large sandwich plates on that part so it's already reinforced.

Here are some pictures from my car

The LCA pivot reinforcements are on the LCA side.You can see in this picture that the flange on the LCA pivot fits inside the reinforcement.

This is the side under the steering box. If you look closely you can actually see the corner of the steering box gusset, as well as a lot of seam welding that I did.

Frond side of the steering box mount. This one you have to be careful with, if it extends too far forward the steering box will hit it because the box is at an angle.

Couple more pictures of a K frame with the reinforcing done on it, this is a 68-72 K from @Seandavid55
