It could have been done for the same cost, but im in a similar boat to you in a way. My rear just wasnt wide enough and I did like dirt did and cut the frame out. I havent
gotten much water or anything thru it but it drives me up a wall. I thought I could make it work and chose wrong and at that point i said **** it and hacked the body up... Should have went wider. I also dont know what im going to do on the hole yet. I havent put much thought into it for a long while, but winters getting here
I got a fix for the side but the bottom floor as you have is also my problem.
*Note to haters disregard all the fubar in this picture, this was early stages and alot has changed and more will*

I didnt have much to work with as the outboard option while ideal just wasn't in the budget this time around. But I did not want to do the bolt on setup. It did take me a lil while to get the spring rates close as most of the info was on what the spring rates were on the bolt on kits. Wasn't till recently leverage came into play. But it feels great on road and the suspension travel works well but the rear trac bar and gas tank dont let it perform at 100%. I have not ridden in a JK with the outboard coilovers but I have in the Evo cantilever and Rebel and Evo bolt ons, and stability with this setup is not an issue at least for me or my wife. <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=627972"/>
