Well i finished plating from the front LA's back, i will do the front when i begin the front axle swap. Still need to grind down some of the welds but i think they turned out pretty clean and i now have no more wavy frame rails. It is all 3/16 and 1/4", Enjoy.
I did plate over the holes on the inside of the framerail as well i just dont have any pictures of it. Everything is tied together and there is not a piece of unibody showing. It will be continued all the way to the front and the front crossmember will be done like the rear was, i did add several gussets on the inside of the rear crossmember as well. I'm into these about 28$, Hope this helps others think about doing it themselves instead of buying some premade ones.

I finally purchased my stiffeners from HD offroad. Decided to go with them instead of TnT due to the holes already being drilled for welds. I only got the middle stiffs but plan on the front soon too.
