Frame mods

We have a 2019 ms3811 that we have put a lot of
Miles on and has been really good to us. I am wanting to do some improvements to strengthen the frame. I can weld and do metal work myself. I have already removed the cover under the front and added bigger bolts and added epoxy in the threads. I’m looking for ideas on actual strength to the frame and the axle areas. I was thinking of adding steel from one side to the other where the spring hangars are. Any ideas ? Has anyone done anything like this to their rig?

Thanks!

You can add the Lippert spring hanger reinforcement angles in this thread…

Morryde X-factor braces would accomplish what you describe to connect the side at the spring hangers. Here is a thread and a YouTube video…

See post 17 for the braces I installed. I have 3 Morryde X-Factor braces and 5 angle iron braces.

Yup, we added 2 of them to our 3761FL last January. I feel better that the frame rails are more stable now.
