Rotted Out Spring Towers

Ive been procrastinating on my rotted out paper thin spring towers on my 94 f150 during my frame off resto. I'll probably weld some strength plates onthe old ones and build up the weak spots but Ive been toyin with the idea of cutting off the old ones and welding up some custom ones. Has anyone done this and been successful?

why don't you just order them from Ford?
(I havent replaced any in a long time, but they used to offer them as replacement parts)

Thanks guys, I took care of it; I welded 1/8'' steel to what was there for strength. They look great and are now probably the strognest part of the truck
