A couple of tricks I have used in the past....
2 pieces of angle iron welded inside the existing box to form an inside box.
The box frame is really a 2" "U" with a 3" bottom plate. I have had the
local sheetmetal shop bend up the U channel, the bottom flat is easy.
I have reinforced areas like under the sway bar mounts, made better jack
hole points, installed 1/2" steel inside the cross member, and things
like that where they tend to bend or rust out.
