Looking to do a bit of frame rail strengthening on my beater. I've looked at a few suppliers and was just wondering who you used? One of the areas I'm concerned with is over, and just in front of the driver's rear tire. The PO did a number on it and the rail is a bit crunched there from a rearward impact with a tree. It's not too bad, but while I'm doing the work I'd like to address that area for sure.
I'm also contemplating making a set of main rail stiffeners out of 3x3 angle. The only drawback is my local steel supplier says the thinnest they can get is 3/16", which seems a bit excessive and on the heavy side to me. The positive side to going that route is that it's only $55 for a 20' stick.
Let's see some pics of yours, tell me how you like/dislike them, how you made them, or what you'd do differently if you could do it again.
