Anyone wanna voice an opinion, was looking at replacing my rocker panels.
Cost for OEM style replacements is not far from 2x6 rec tube or 3/16 x 8 flat bar.

Either would be well worth the additional frame strengthening.

Mainly street, but random trips into the fun stuff. No real rock crawling, max lift we be 3" if I even go that high.

Just dont want to replace my rockers ever again.

Square tubing of some sort will be the easiest, especially since you aren't rock crawling and such.

Thats kinda what I was thinking. Looking into 1/4" flat bar as a stacked with a 1.5 square tube or 1.5 x 2" tube with 3 or 4 1" tube supports tieing into the subframe.
