I made a post on your original thread about welding your frame.I see where some say you cant do it,but I have welded frames with 7018 and you can weld with 7018 good enough if you do like I told you in the other post.
MIG would be better,but I know 7018 will work.You might not want to run it on the Interstate,but around the farm its only risking you right?
People seem to try and say a lot about this and probably never did it.What is most dangerous is welding unibody with a stick and a bad welder too.There are people who used to weld cars together with brazing rod and that is scary.What is true though is that the late model cars metal is more brittle and MIG welding works better for that.It can still be welded with a stick and the best way is with 7018.6011 would work,but if you arent a good welder your 6011 welds might crack.7018 might crack too,but if it does it will be right next to where you welded it and if you grind a v in it and weld it good it wont crack the second time as bad.
Cutting the frame at an angle is a good way as long as you clamp it back with an angle iron on 2 sides you should get it close enough to work.
