pics pls, and by sub frame do you just mean the undercarriage of your Jeep?

Really depends on what's rusted and how bad it is, there are some parts of the frame that really cannot be repaired when rusted out too harshly (I know this because I learned the hard with with my ZJ)

Depending how bad it is, you may be able to repair it using the frame stiffeners from TREKS. www.gotreks.com

Is that the worst of it, or does it wrap around inside the leaf spring mount? In the first pic, it looks like there is a hole rotted in the side of the frame rail..can we get more pics of that?
