And with it being a 2wd I plan for it to sit to low to really do any hauling other than maybe a cooler and lawn chairs, and i'm not to big on off roading.

You can really strengthen up the frame by adding a layer of 2"x3/16" steel flat bar to the top & bottom flanges of the stock frame rail. These are the areas that contribute the most to the bending strength of the stock frame.

It doesn't have to be fully welded in place either. Stitch welding by putting down a two inch weld and leaving an inch of open area before the next two inch long weld will cut down 33% of the welding work and minimally impact how strong the connection is. Alternate the open areas side to side on the flat bar so none of them line up across from each other. We do stitch welds all the time in structural frames and fabrication.
