Havent done it but I think I could.
Remove the front clip, fabricate a new one with tubes. However its a bit more complicated. I wish I could help you more, sorry.

well the actual fabbing of it wouldnt be a problem, I have 3 chassis that I can measure and work with for spacing,
the main question is what do I need to be careful of with the attachment of it to the firewall. |

Just make sure your welds to the existing frame rails are super sturdy.
