Has anyone reworked the front 4x4 crossmember - under trans one

[BigSix]

Has anyone reworked the front crossmember that goes under the transmission between the leafs? It is currently riveted in...and with my massive transmission...the only way to do any transmission work is to remove it with the engine.

I'd love to remove the one there and make a lower profile bolt in one. Currently the stock cross member is mighty close to the transmission and I think on test drive they will become too close as friends.

So anyhoo - if you've redone that crossmember, or just made any good looking crossmembers please let me know! I'd like to get this thing out of the way!
