Oh fuck. Yeah you should have put something back in there. Damn I would say you definitely have some flex there now. I would pull the motor. Measure between the rails and see where it is. Get some stock measurements from someone here. Then add a fabbed cross member back in there. You remove A LOT of structural intergrity and the pressure from the suspension is gonna ruin your frame.

You need to add some cross bracing in the rear. I'm going drill a few holes in my brace and call it good....It's hard to believe these frames are a weak as they are given the weight of them but they were designed to haul cattle at a slow rate of speed.
If I have time I'll cut the floor out of the bed of my truck so I can add some cross braces.

Also remember I have a 10 point roll bar in the truck.

I cut mine out like that as well, kept the from section for shocks though. Frame is still stiff though.

If you watch the video that is the run that is likely to have done the damage. But it does not look violent nor did it feel like one side rose harder.

That's the one that broke the windshield right? If it's flexing enough to crack glass it needs some triangulation added.
