Pics? guess I shoulda taken those along the way. Maybe I can get a shot of finished install. Couple things I forgot. When I notched the tube steel to bolt to frame rails, I was concerned that that corner would be a stress raiser so I welded a couple pieces of angle to the tube steel at both those locations for extra reinforcement. Also due to the tight fit of new cross member to existing, I tack welded the bolt heads for the mounts to the angle so I wouldn't have to try to get a wrench in there.
