seen jessy james on one of his builds weld the frame on small box profile legs too the ramps of a four post lift to level it and keep it in place while he was cutting bending and welding on it (he was narrowing the front frame of an A ford) i was thinking of doing sumtin like that but only to fixate the frame with 2 3 foot beams about 4 inch square and some metal scrap to make some traingles and a few legs tackwelded to keep the frame floating in mid air after i cut it to put in the kick up for the diff as long as the tacks dont break i weld a little at the time at different places so it doesnt pull and the frame itself is straight to start with that should be enough

By the time it's welded full length, fishplated as necessary, and boxed, and maybe partially doubled, it seems like that would stiffen it up enough. (2" assuming you can get the 3/4" more you need out of body mount drop)

Mike, a full frame really is the only way to "one-up" Cloud 9. But I think you already know that : )

I agree! All you have left that's not custom now is the section between the front and rear clips. However, if that doesnt come to pass, and you do use the rectangular tube within the modified factory rails---Those two long steel rect tubes would make hellacious concealed air tanks!
