Alright, talked to the metal supplier I can get 15ft langhts of 3×2×.25in for $1.50 a foot that should be thick enough for the goal? They didn't say they could get thicker wall, I can ask on my lunch later today(posting at breakfast at 5am).Boxing the frame doesn't completely help. The Explorer frame where the springs mount to is only .160" steel, while the '05 F-250 frame was .264" thick. So, you need to add the equivalent of an additional .104" (and 2 separate pieces of steel aren't same as one homogeneous one; I have no idea how to calculate the requirement).
The DMV will have to have proof of the mods. Before and after, videos reseats, research, this thread any anything else I can think of that gos with this build. They review all of it then have me bring the truck to the DMV, they'll have a Sheriff's deputy, automotive technician, welder and and the title person look in person. It can take a few weeks to months.
