You may find it more cost efficient and less stressful to do the job on your own.
Measure from outside axle center to exact hitch center. FOUR measurements. Then exles centers left then right. Axle to axle. This will orient your axles correctly.
I like the low heat needed for ?" ALL STATE 275, also known as SUPER MISSILE WELD DC REVERSE POLARITY ARC WELDING ROD. Drill crack ends with an ?" drill to blind the crack stress end. Run the rod at 110 amps. One pass. This will pass minimum heat into the channel.
Recheck your measurement alignment on the frame orientation points. Cover the weld points after you are satisfied the repair is permanent.
I have run cracked in two Jeep frames through the Rubicon, after such repairs and found the work satisfactory
The low heat of the weld avoids a lot of enbritlement issues.
