Here's a quick design for a gusset. My thought is to over lap the cradle the same distance on each side of the outside of the frame. Along with a diamond shape that would be welded to the cradle on the bottom side, tack welded in every hole, and welded to the top of the frame rail/body. I'm also going to radius the sharp outside edges so I don't create any points.
The current crack will be tig welded and ground smooth.
I'll likely make it about another 1" longer to cover the body plug hole and get closer to my sway bar mount. Let me have it....
