Can I move or remove this cross member?

A) Can I remove this cross member altogether?
B) If not, can I re-locate it for my hidden hitch installation?

There was just no perfect spot to place the brackets. The rivet is fine as there is a spacer between the bracket and the frame, but the cross member will interfere with my bolt on the top side of the frame.

Thanks in advance for the assistance

im sure thats the same one everyone moves to install the under bed gas tank upgrade i think it originally had something to do with the spare tire, i would have no problem removing it myself and most likely have to if i put a under bed gas tank.

Yes you can remove it. It was originally there for the spare tire to sit against.
