You may need some mounts to pop the body on to .....

the sills will be fully welded to the body and to the outriggers

Will you not be using proper isolation body mounts as per Discovery 1&2?

You bending pipe yourself or getting a custom cage built up for it?

the cage is going to be built by JFT fabrications and no I'm going to skip the hassle with the mounts and just directly weld it to the outriggers

that's one rear outrigger finished I have to start repairing the other side of the chassis before the next ion can go on

Have you removed the springs/shocks to see if the axle arms touch these roll cage brackets?
Only asking as look close
