Copy. As I have stated, my tac weld is just that. a 1/8th dab. Just for insurance. I would not weld or drop a 1/2 inch tack on it because you would be there for a while trying to grind it off. I lifted my Raptor 4" with blocks and new (larger) u-bolts. I did not want to have to go through a re-torquing of them and since they were all steel, I tacked each one after I torqued them down. 8 years later, they are good to go. I know the steel could flex and I would be SOL but everything has held so far.
