On the stock chassis, the plastic rail and the top plate do all the load carrying. The center plate keeps the lower rails from spreading apart when a load is applied. The front and rear skids aren't part of the equation.

The stock rail is something around .983 thick in the center - I havent measured the ends. Probably somewhere around 1.25" or so.

I went back and looked at your vid again. For some reason, I thought that your center rails were three piece.....sorry!

What CAD are you using? I might be able to send you my CAD files.
