Hey guys here is the cross members ive made for a few guys. Its made of 1/8" Steel tubing and fully tig welded.

Allows you to drop rear trans mount down 3/8" to correct some driveline angles after lifts.
Allows more clearence for long tube headers.

I can weld tabs on front or back to allow mounting of a skit plate if wanted.

If people are interested ill make another batch.

Im looking at $200cdn each. As i weld them everywere so they are sturdy.
The OE one is made of 16gu stamped steel and you can bend it with a sledge.

If i get a few guys i can drop the price alot more.

Ok guys i got a few emails. If i can get at least 4 sold i can do them at this price.

$180 with the following

1-Crossmember painted Black
10-Bolts to bold to truck frame and trans

The rear skid plates will be made in the next few weeks. If you are interested Ill start making the skid plate for the transfer case.






Post up if you are interested.

I may be interested, how much? I don't have a lift yet, but the key there is yet! I made my mind up to wait for Zukination's lift.

Well, I'll wait til Christmas to see if they get the kit out. If not, then I'll have to decide on what kit, OME or Calmini.

Hey Josh I'd like one of those crossmembers, and I'd like to know more about the belly skid as well, what would it look like?  Would it just protect the bottom of the transfer case or would it be bigger?

Interested. I run an auto. Not sure if that would mess up the mounting. Just had some 4.24:1 gears installed and would like to protect my investment w/ a heavy mount and skid.
