Chassis stiffening

I'm looking to stiffen my chassis more, has anyone cut out the pan where the body bolts onto where the heater channels are and replaced them with square tubing? I'll end up tying cage mounts to these spots as well as onto the body.
Is there a kit or anything, or should I just make it my self? It doesn't look to bad, I just don't have a bender.

If people from Utah are called "Utahns", what are people from Tampa called?

^ That's very interesting. How exactly would you go about installing those? Where do they bolt in exactly?

They bolt under the floorpans to the body. Just as usual the body is screwed to the pans, only now with the stifners within.
