Here is my attempt to stiffen it

Feel free to add or change anything

I drew it in paintcad so it's easy to modify

The boxes are my spring mounts. This is what I have as of now, I'm going to have a crossmember going across to front also, that is also a winch mount

I couldn't 360* weld the tubes but they should be fine

This is double-posting.

You should have kept these pics in your other thread.

Pre-lock or pre-delete pad.
 
you still gonna run a crossmember between the front of the rails?

Yeah, I'll wait until I do the tube front bumper to add it. Right now this should be more than enough to roll around/drive on the street
