    i like stock style but made out of steel not aluminum. That would be pro and a good starting point imo

    21'' wide is a good width, you could do 22 to make it an even number.

    the mounts are tricky to line up because they're not very even in the front. but the front ones need to be at least 3.5" tall to clear the engine mount and differential.

    OP, pm me if you need help on the design. I'm in the middle of making my own as well.

    I am going to be taking some dimensions today/ tomorrow so I can start toying with a design. As far as materials, I was planning on using 3/16 plate steel and seeing how that goes. It should be plenty tough, especially with some bends to stiffen it a bit. I'll keep you guys posted

    I drew everything up on autocad today and got all the bend programming done today. The work order is in so i should have my first prototype in a couple of days. Hopefully everything will come out pretty close so it can all be ironed out in another part or 2. I'll keep everyone updated
