Re: Bolt-in frame stiffener enough?

Thank you very much for that insight.
Mine is shortened, but was done as a z notch with a plate welded in the center. I assume interference comes from a "bolt in" shortening kit where you go back and weld it, and a thicker top and bottom section of the frame channel causes issues?
