It would seem some of us aren't looking for the same thing. Based on what Ryan said, I have been looking at the frame wall thickness based on extra steel being added to the inside of the inside of the frame rail. This would lessen the distance between the inside if the inside and outside walls of the frame rail, not increase the outside diameter of the frame rail. Right?

Bingo.. No 13's in the shop here today or I would have made it easy for you guys with pictures.. But my description is as good as it will get for now.

If you need any measurements from a couple armored vehicles.. I could help you with that today..

Yup you can clearly see that's thicker. It even looks as if there's a seam. OK so we're on to something...but what.
