thanks man, and i do believe i may be able to move the original square up and over to clear my tub. i would have just bought a crossmember but my frame is already z'd.

thanks for your help a bunch.

SYCOTIK · 11-08-2011, 12:22 PM

No prob man. As for the hood, I don't have mine on yet but I do know ill need a cowl too. Just trim out the bracing that's in the center of the hood till it clears
