Long stiffening kits Options

[ahdoman]

Does any body make a stiffening kit that can be welded to the outside of the long?

Here's a pic of my passenger side with the Brad Mayeur long kit welded in, and painted, etc. We put the new jack posts on as well. I also put in the Rich Johnson rear console stiffening kit as well (way overkill, but hope one day to have some serious horsepower).

Looks great. Did you do the work yourself? Do you happen to have more pictures? How much was the Brad Mayeur long kit? How long did it take you to get it welded in? If you had to do over would you stay with the style you selected or would you go to the internal long stiffeners? I had 30 more questions but I will slow down a bit. = )

Thanks again for the great info. = )

I had the long kits put in as well as new rear floorboards, lower firewall and some other welding. I had a local guy do the welding for me (wanted it done right). I paid $300.00 for the long kit, but that was 2+ years ago.

Here's a pic of the install before grinding, painting, jackposts, etc:
