Ruff stuff stiffiners work nicely so far even with all the fab i did to them

Got them first cleaned up the underails to bare metal to test fit them

Then cut the front off so they fit withthe lower control arm brackets

had to bend the pieces to fit the frame then tac welded them to keep shape

With my set i modded to use with a custom belly pan and rocksliders

once in mock up place then drill all the holes in the stiffiners and frame rails to fit the bolts and nuts for the RS and BP

aren't you supposed to put a bead in those top oval cutouts? i just dont see many welds here...maybe cause your pics are so blurry.

p.s. why are you so worried about comments...?
