Question, since the OEM Standard is Riveted Frame Rails, what is the best method of reconnecting the sections of the Frame IF you were to change things around ?
Everyone will come up with Grade 8 or 10 Bolts, but if the connecting bolts are too hard that can cause problems too.
Would you add additional plating along the connecting points, welded or bolted as the frame ?
Just thinking out loud !

I used grade 8 flange bolts on mine. Torqued to 80 foot pounds. Been about 3 years ago and no issues
