Good luck with your new position!
Wow I must have been tired. The post I made in your tread was intended for my left for dead build thread. I will delete it (if I can) from yours and move to mine...Yes it bolts over the existing rails. When you consider the amount of kits on the market that they have sold I'm not worried. I might box the frame rails though. What you are also not seeing is the center cross member where the rear rails tie into. This is a very robust piece.

Thanks on the job comment. It is 6.5 miles from my house and I can drive the 48 to work quite often.
