Did you just split the originals and ad a piece in the middle? Thanks for the input.

Howard, wassup bro? You know I'm running a 345/30/20 on 20x13's. Unfortunately, there are no companies right now producing wheel tubs for our body style. I know...sucks, huh? I plan to do mine the easy and cheap way you mentioned...just split them down the middle and add a few inches.

I only cut an inch out, max. Put in some stiffners, then capped it with a 3/16" plate. I drilled holes in the new plate to line up with each stiffner and plug welded those as well as the plate to the rest of the frame. A hell of a lot stronger that before. Also added a removable cross brace above the panhard bar for more strength, had to run exhaust through it also. Overkill maybe.
