Thank you guys for the info.
John , I love the way that second pic looks. The details on the first are a big help.
If I do mine, I will definitely do it that way. That looks way better than a square box.
My truck will have aggressive 35"s mounted to either my 15" or my 20" inch wheels. Right now there is 31"s x12" mounted to 15"s . My 20"s have street tires mounted to them. It will see mud pits and more than likely pulling other trucks.
So I guess I'm leaning on doing it before I say "I should have done it." A modified frame is better than a broken/bent one.
Thanks again for the info.
edit : was not sure about HP ratings stock but I was sure about the torque. Thanks for the correction. 46gmcpu I was hoping you would chime in.
