I feel you will be fine with either one, we have never had an issue with our bolt on set-ups.

The Pro's to a bolt on style would be-

- They can always be removed and resold if needed (ex. Rear end swap)
- You can't install them wrong
- Then can be welded at anytime after installed

The Pro's to weld on style would be-

- Once they are welded and installed correctly you will never have to worry about them again. They are there for good.

Hope that helps!

What is there exactly that you would have to worry about though?

Some are afraid when bolting an item to area that like the bolts may come loose, if the bolts come loose the item can move and oblong the holes. However we have never had an issue with this and our brackets are supplied with lock nuts making it virtually impossible for this to occur.

Hope that helps,
