35" Now i just need to figure out what to do with my 8.8  ::).  It is seeping fluid where i welded my lower control arm brackets on on both side.  It is also leaking from the truss and from the plug welds.  When Molly's dad helped cut the brackets off of the axle, he cut threw the tubes in two places.  I guess my weld's have pin holds in them ::)  Looks like i am going to have fun over thanksgiving.  I just don't understand why it just started leaking now when i did the swap over 4 months ago.

Alex, anytime you weld a vessel, I would coat the weld with an anaerobic wicking compound.  I worked for Permabond, a Loctite competitor for 5 years out of college, and then ran a fire sprinkler distribution company for 7 years with 3 fab shops, and every weld got brushed with the sealant.  $.04 per weld, saves a leak in the field and hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars to repair.  Loctite 290 is readily available in most automotive/hardware stores, or for sure at a local bearing house or industrial distributor.

Now here's the tough part.  It will work on yours, but you have to have the surface and pin holes/void areas clean of liquids and debris.  The wicking sealant is less viscous than water, and is sucked into any void through capillary action, even against gravity.  We never tested 1"-6" welds as they never leaked if coated properly, but if we tested a large weld on 10" or 12" pipe, and it leaked, we had to drain it, heat it up to dry it out, and re coat it.
