3/16's notch and plated frame to where my hitch mounts. im going to be gusseting my upper bag mount to. bags are goodyear 2b12-406s. 2 link will have a gusset on it to. they didnt have 2x3 so i got 2x2x1/4.

the front was actually really easy. i have djm upper and lower arms that why the chamber isnt so insane. and they are in stock location. i may get mcgaughys spindles and it should take care of almost all the negative chamber.
as for the front i had to notch for the control arms a bit. i used some 1/4 bridge plates from suicide doors. then i used 1/4 plate to gusset it to the frame. i put 2 huge gussets. im going to gusset the back when i put it on the lift to take care of the tranny x-member.
the rear i put 2 quarter inch gussetes in each notch across the top of the frame before i caped the top of the notch. i didnt have to cut the whole from out. it still has about a inch verticle frame as well as the top left. pictures i dont have yet is i made a 2x2x1/4 bridge over the notch and plated it with 1/4 plate from the top of the bridge to the top and down the sides of the notch and about an inch on the side of the frame. that is to mount my b&w turnover ball gooseneck hitch to and to also mount my shocks to in the rear. im doing a tad bit more bracing from the bridge to the gastank x-member. then im going to prime it and just undercoat it. im going to get a sheetmetal notch cover fixed then get my bed rhino lined.
it should be pretty fuckin stout!
yea the frame is pretty tall. but it will make a hell of a tow pig!
thanks for all the good words. im really pleased with how its coming out!

well i got most of it undercoated. just waiting on it to dry.. heres some pictures.
you can see how i raised my b&w hitch mounts so the ball could be flipped when layed out. its made out of 2x2x1/4 plated with 1/4 plate and has 1/4 mounts that the hitch bolts to.
mounted my 8 gallon tank and fabed some compressor mounts up.
heres my 2 link. the brackets thats holding it up is so it will bolt to the axel so it will distribute the weight to the axel more when i have a trailer hitched up.
heres the front brackets. there gusseted with 1/4 inch plate. and there 1/4 inch brackets.when i get it on the lift im going to gusset it to the inside of the frame also. and i will also undercoat the whole bottom also. thats why there is some spots that arent covered.
