It shouldn't really be rocket science to do it the way you want.

i dont think i know anyone with a plasma, i wonder how much it would cost for someone to make a small plate kit?

and this is where i got the idea from lol. do you think a 3" or 3 1/2" would be safe without the top square tubing reinforcement?

right now my frame rests on my axle and what i would want to do is make the notch now, then stack up a little cash for someone to plate it all in for me. the truck will not move at all for a while since it doesnt run. i think for it just sitting there it should be fine to notch about 4" out.
