I'd be happy to do it. You can ask K85 Octane if he was happy with his, as I did it a few weeks back. I'm in the Valley.
Right on mtnman!!!!!

If you brought the truck to a welder and yanked the steering box off in the parking lot I couldnt possibly seeing the brace taking more than 20mins to weld on. Figure that most places charge an hour minimum and it should be $100-150.
There is more to it than just welding it on. If you already know how to set it, mold it, trim it and weld it...an hour or a bit less. If they have never done one, lots longer. Those things aren't "one size fits all". Loosely yes, correctly no.

I'd think you'd be better off taking it to a shop that does frame alignments that just any old welder. I had to do some pretty creative jigging to get my rail close to straight again when I snapped mine. I probably spent over an hour just trying to figure that part out. Definitely more work there than just laying the beads.
