No Limit X-Member Kit on a TF.
I'm going to post this here as I couldn't find any pictures or information about it other then the No Limit web site!
The C-channel boxing plates and X-plates look like they would be a much stronger setup. My engine dynoed out with 517hp so it is a little bit more than the factory V-8. So I took and completely stripped the truck again, and started putting in the square tubing from one side of the frame to the other. I thought it would be smart to X everything, only to find out that it was a big mistake and it raised the passenger side rear corner 1/4 inch do to the welding of the last X piece, so I removed the X and everything went back to normal.

Next was cleaning and sanding inside of frame rails, then sealing with Rust-Oleum gloss black, then install.

Looks like you did a nice job. You will be shocked at the ride quality improvement when you drive it again.

I guess its time for some updating on the install!
Got it all welded up and the reinforcement bars removed.

Then filling unneeded holes in the frame, sanding it and some sandblasting in the hard to get to places then paint!!!
