One problem with things like this is that as a group we all have totally different levels of fab skills and ability to visualize and then create. Add to that we normally have no idea of what tools and equipment one has in their garage or shop or if they have the skills to operate them.

The main thing is that anything you make to cover an MII control arm on the inside of the engine compartment has to be removable to access the bolts and the cross shaft to align the front end. That is an absolute unless you went the front end mechanic hating you.

The reason no one makes and sells them as each truck is set up slightly differently and some depending on the engine and exhaust have clearance issues that others don't.
