It looks pretty good to me tying the sides together.

Would love to hear other opinions.

Wow that looks pretty sweet. How does that cross bar work though. How would you drop the torque arm, driveshaft or exhaust? Guess ya really can't weld it in there.

Nevertheless, looks like it would really tie things together.

I've seen those talked about on the boards before. From previous discussion, the only downside is that the crossmember will reduce ground clearance significantly because it goes below the driveshaft and exhaust

Wouldn't it then interfere with the suspension and drivetrain movement it is was underneath?

It would seem that it should go on above the rear, not below?

I'm not quite following. The crossbar would possibly have to be removed to get the intermediate pipe out. Otherwise, they attach in the same locations as any other subframe connectors. That crossbar is mounted so that it bridges across the rear of the front subframe (under the tranny and just behind the cat)

Oh, I thought it was towards the rear by the diff.

It hangs that low?
