Cross member

I was wondreing if anyone has used the SD bolt in cross member with the Airbar? If yes Will it work with the wishbone from ART?

I guess my only other option is a bolt in sd cross member and cut off the bracket for the SD wishbone and weld my own on.

you could, but the SD crossmember is pushed very far forward for driveshaft clearance, youre going to need tabs that are like 8" long to hook up that ART wishbone, might have some flexing issues.

Flexing is no good I suppose a custom cross member is needed.

get a hold of Ricky at SD, see if they have an old style GTXM laying around, its like 2" closer to the axle so itll work better for you.

I got a hold of Ricky and they said the can make one no prob. If the current cross memeber is pushed 2 inches towards front of truck using the old style will I have issue with driveshaft clearence using the GTXM one?
