besides the ord frame repair kit and brace for the steering box, has anyone beefed up the frame in that area anymore in a differrent way, i have a 87 chevy half ton truck
 
i welded a 3/8" place to the back side of the frame and ran a piece of 2x2x1/4 square stock to the other frame rail that i had welded a 3/16th piece of plate to.removed the factory crossmember also
 
frame fix

so when you welded the peice of plate on thew backside of the frame whre the box is you obviously had to remove those metal brake lines, if so was that a pain. so far the frame hasnt broke since i did the ord brace kit and the hydraulic assist, it just gets me paranoid from that 1 time it broke halfway through the rubicon
