Default 4700 lpx build

I am considering turning our international 4700 lpx into a small toterhome. maybe something like a 14' box with the bunk over the cab for a bed. the question is... do we stretch the frame ourselves or leave it to a company that stretches frames on a regular basis? we are a welding and fab shop so im confident that we could do it but i wonder if something like that is best left to someone that does it on a regular basis. next question is... is it a problem to build the framework out of aluminum tubing? i look at NRC Mod's stuff and they use steel tubing in their builds and renegade uses wood from what ive been told. im thinking aluminum on ours for weight since its a smaller truck to begin with. thoughts?
