a piece of 2x4 fits inside the frame, about 8'' on the drivers, due to gas filler, and 11'' on the pass side, it will be bolted with 1/4'' plate top and bottom.http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f18/jeepnzj/102_1374.jpg

heres a pic of where its gonna live, just stuck it in there to size things up and make sure its straight. cut off the ends that protect the rockers, they were way crooked, guess i got impatient, i needed to wait till i got it where it is know. oh well its my first time..
