Any thoughts on grinding these welds?
Also how should I make the braces?

Here is a photo of my boxing plate in the same area as yours. I am not a fan of grinding welds. I mainly TIG weld my stuff, but if you are MIG welding, make sure you have enough amperage. What type of shielding gas are you using? As far as the braces, are you planning on installing a four-link suspension, or something similar, with this new crossmember as the forward mount for the suspension? My apologies...I'm not quite sure what you're asking.
