Are you plating the frame in the front for re-enforcement?
I have thought about it and talked about it with a few people. Im going to re enforce the shackle mounting area. Everything else should be strong enough. I plan on filling a few of the holes and bracing where the power steering box will be moved to. Other then that im changing the spare tire mount brace to a piece of 2/3 188 wall and getting it back to where the shackles are. They wound up on the edge of the frame due to the bobbing. Adding a V shaped brace to the one that holds the gas tank. They will bend down and help hold and protect an air tank.
