Your good dude. We figured its about 4" in at the x-member. I'm gonna make up some bracing around the tail light plates. As well as hold it together with my QP guards braced to either a floor plate or the C-pillar of the cage... Again its something you gotta just jump into, but I wouldn't recommend it till your ready to brace the frame, & cage it!
