As a hardocory DIYer myself, I applied the effort. One easily overlooked consideration is heat treating after welding, thus restoring the strength of the heat affected zone around the welds.
For people seeking an easier route, you can convert regular factory adjustable spring plates to full QuickChange feature capability by getting the "splined hub" option, avoiding the DIY hassles.
