I think people over think things sometimes about the difficulty of doing something simple. I reinforced my rear frame rails pretty easy for about $20 and some 11 gauge flat plate. About 6 hours (3 hours each side)of making a template, cutting,prep and welding.The reinforcement plates run the full length of my inner frame rails and wrap around to the lower frame rail.

I'm going to be running the Speed Tech torque arm and wanted added strength and to spread the load across the full length of the frame rails.

I just tried to ad the images but for some reason I can't. I can email them to you if needed so you get an idea of how to do it. Or you can resize them and post them for me so everyone can see??

I think $600 or more to fully replace the frame rails plus the time isn't needed unless the frame rails are rusted.
