I was going to order from Hd Offroad but started looking at some "custom" versions online. I don't like the fact that the stiffeners are single plane vs dual plane. Basically they weld only to the side of the frame vs to the side & bottom.
So now the questions..would it be best to get the HD offroad & then weld in another piece of 1/8" to the bottom of the rail, 2 seperate pieces of metal. Or should I get some 3x3 angle & heat/bend it to contour the rail? I want the rear stiffener to tie into the gas tank skid/tow hitch holes.
Also would like to make my own front stiffeners out of 1/8" or so..just think it'll be much cheaper overall.
