Default welding on the frame ?

i got a receiver tube for a hitch but instead of welding it to a piece of steel then bolting it on i would rather just weld it straight to the frame under the rear bagwell. should the batteries and/or the controller be disconnected to prevent any damage or anything else to look out for?

I have done it both ways without damage. THere should be no connection between the frame and the pack but why take chances?

As have I but "best practice" is to disconnect any electronic components to avoid damage.

Yeah. As you say, I've welded many times on vehicles without disconnecting electrical components, and never (knock on wood) had a problem. Of course, as soon as I tell someone else that it's ok to do so, they will fry something.

we weld on them here at our shop and never disconnect anything unless we are fixing the battery tray or alike. When/if we weld our hitches on we just do it.
