Between the two, I wonder which would be the most beneficial for stiffening, if I could just pick one? The longitudinals/frame rail channels or chassis stiffening kit?

I couldn't bring myself to do that. I would remove the rusty metal, then weld in patch pieces. Then maybe a clamshell for extra strength, but only after knowing I wasn't covering up rusty metal.
I like the Engman kit, but if there are strength concerns past the firewall I would also run a tube from the rear shock tower tops to the inner longs, using a scab plate at both ends and knowing the rear one bridges a hidden gap between the top end of the frame and the shock tower. |
