Ok so i have a set of Ruff Stuff Stiffenerz that i'll be installing shortly. They have a 1" lip at the top that expands out to the metal floarboards for added strength & welding surface. My question is, would it be a smart bet to take the seats & carpeting out so it dont catch on fire, or is this an unessessary thing to do??

 

Yes take the carpet out. That's something that's better safe then sorry.

after welding in the stiffeners...the weld to the floor board will "burn" the paint/sealant on the top side...after welding be sure to reseal this up(paint/sealant) to prevent premature corrosion.

 

I have a gallon of chassis saver ready to go plus some bedliner!!
