i am currently taking the lift out of my truck and rebuilding the front end and notice that the cross member that crosses the truck (near back of oil pan) connected to the LCA rear mounts has been cut out! i need to see what that original crossmember looked like and how it was set up so i can build a new one! thanks!

Why was it cut out? Previous owner?

I think you are talking about this.... It probably wasn't cut but unbolted and removed, the driver's side mount was probably cut for differential clearance.

that would be the cross member. thanks swampfox.

it was cut out because of the brackets for the lift kit and differential clearanc
