For $200, you will get a fabricated steel cross-member, Grade 8 installation hardware, instructions and shipping in the lower 48.

The mounting position closely mimics the OE 2wd cross-member, and is universal in that it requires drilling to install in your specific fitment. This allows it to be used regardless of engine and transmission combination, or swap. Look closely at the photos for an idea of how it can work for you.
The cross-member is shipped unpainted, and doesn't usually clear your existing exhaust. Plan to re-route your exhaust at time of installation, and of course, it is fine for single exhaust, too.

This piece is made from 11 gauge mild steel, with 3/16" mounting flanges.
These are made to order, and will ordinarily ship within one week.

Need a custom cross-member? I can help! Send me a message.

This photo shows the cross-member prior to welding. The others are the prototype installed in my personal truck. The final product is a bit nicer.

Will this cross member clear the rear pan flange and bolts on a 2WD 700R4? My current factory one blocks it. Can you make it to clear the factory driver's side exhaust/converter?

This one is only 3" wide, barely wider than the trans mount cushion, so I don't expect any interference with the pan on your 700R4. I have one I can check.

It will not work with the stock exhaust. You would need to relocate the cat.

Can not see your pictures anymore. I know this post is years old but would like to see if you are still making them?
