They look pretty much identical to ours, which have never had issues.
2024 is definitely not good enough for your axles. Go to 7075, or stick with steel.
the bellypan is used for fixturing by riveting it to all of the frame members, which holds them in place as the frame is welded. This results in a better aligned, more square frame than if everything has to be tacked together. It also saves hours of your welder's time. We could never go back to the way we were doing it before at this point.
