So my question is can i do away with the crossmember (the tubular u shaped one in the rear), without fabbing a new one or should i weld somekind of frame brace and weld it in before cutting it out. The trans crossmember I am reworking to prevent dragging when I am layed out. The rear thou its pissing me off 3rd place in the minitruck limbo cuz of this damn brace.
