Argo body spacer. Anyone know deets???

Steel C-channel is a good idea. You can make a support that runs to the frame. I told give you the added space you need and eliminates the dreaded, evil, no good, grandma's butt looking tub sag.

If you check out the thread I did on a frame to cure tub sag you could do a similar thing but use "C" channel around the outside. I tied front and rear winch mounts into the frame and front and rear seat supports. All the load from winches / seats is then distributed around the whole vehicle. The frame adds very little weight to it, I can lift it easily with one hand.

Do you have access to a tig welder? it might be better to use an aluminum frame to save on weight. Steel might be too heavy making the machine sink lower, defeating the purpose of the spacer. Maybe try getting thick polyethylene strips from McMaster-Carr and forming them with a heat gun. the have strips 1"x3" 5 ft long.McMaster-Carr
