welding in the No Limit Engineering raised rail kit.

I installed a 1" I.D> tube inside the frame rail welded in place. I will be running the back half electrical inside this. Had to install it before I boxed the frame.

That done I spent the day boxing in the frame with 3/16 steel plate I cut out with the Plasma cutter. Not only will this look fantastic when done, it triples the strength of the back half. With over 575 HP in this truck. It will be important to not let it twist this frame like a pretzel.
