I give up... I can't keep up with the rust.

I hope the welds were painted? I'd put it up on jackstands, start sanding and spraying away. This will at least help you know what may need work and also help you know exactly what everything is looking like down there. I hope to steam clean my entire underside here soon, roughen it up, and give it some fresh epoxy. We don't really rust over here though.
