Re: Crossmember Question
If you swap from 2wd to 4wd you are going to be swapping the crossmember anyway. I would just find a 4x4 frame and add the mounts and crossmember from Tennessee Diesel Conversions and you'll be way ahead of the game.

Re: Crossmember Question
If you go from gas to a Cummins you won't have to change the crossmember. But when you go to 2wd to 4wd, then you will have to change the crossmember. The oil pan is huge on the Cummins, it won't fit with the stock 4wd crossmember.

Re: Crossmember Question
Can I Change Out the Crossmember when I get the Cummins to get it outta the way... and not worry about ground Clearance issues???
