well before you spend a lot of money put a jack under the rear end put jack stands under the frame and remove the coil overs. this will free up your suspention to travel up and down. next jack the rear end up as far as you can and see if the drive shaft touches the crossmember. if it does concider purchasing an aftermarket trans crossmember to bolt in its place. the reason i say this is the crossmember thats causing you problems is no longer holding the trailing arms, it's only holding the 2 halves of the frame together.
i hope this is marginaly helpfull,
