Hello,
I'm wanting some feedback from the community on reinforcing the frame between the bucket and body mount.
I have heard this can be a common point of failure where the frame can bend or crack. I've seen some aftermarket kits that offer a plate for reinforcing this area. I saw that RPG Offroad also offers a doubler plate for Gen 2 trucks in this area.
One of the pictures is from a Blitzkrieg Gen 1 kit that includes the reinforcement plate.
Some of my questions:

Some of my questions:
- Has anyone bent or cracked their frame here?
- Does anyone offer a reinforcement plate for a Gen 1 that is not in a complete kit?
- Would it be a good idea to weld on another plate below or above this area?
- Has anyone made their own version of these plates?
