I didn't take any because the door sill area didn't change any. All mods were done 1/2" at least below the bottom of the door sill. I can take one if you really want to see it, but it didn't change any from stock...

Digger!

I'm curious how these are holding up!  Anything you might have wished you've done differently?

 My tracker was REAL BAD.. wound up taking away aprox. 1/2 an inch from the doorjams..we used small square tubing just below the jam and welded it to the jam and the larger tubing we used for my rockers..put on a thin coat of bondo, sanded it down and trhu primer paint on them till warmmer weather gets here

I did this on my 4 door last year and have come down hard on them a few times with no problems. I have also used my hilift on them to pick up one side of the sidekick with no problems. I can snap a pic on the weekend if its not raining! weld it to the metal below the door and to the flange hangin down under the body. I found 4" x3" rec. tube to work perfect 4x2 would work as well and just cut some of the lower flange off and gain an 1" of ground clearance!

After my 3" body lift thought he frame is lower than the body now.

It has held up great. I have come down on it pretty hard myself a couple times and it held up fine and allows me to use my hilift anywhere along the side... It picks up the whole side of the Tracker without flexing at all...
