That's what I was planning as well. Simple enough to buy the material and make it work. I'm by no means a welder, but I've managed to stick some metal to other metal that has held up well enough, so figured I'd give it a shot. The welding is pretty limited in the long run, mostly just some plugs and a couple of smaller beads, so I think I can make it work. Only noticed how bad I needed them when I had my car up in the air to get the tires changed. Had it on a set of the MaxxJacks little hydraulic scissor things (should have bought those a long time ago) and noticed that the passenger front window actually lined up with the back one and the doors opened and shut really nicely for a change, so that started the search.
