I have two question for you.

Did you weld the crossmember into the rocker panels ? Or did you just weld it into the cage ?

Also, do you remember how long your control arms are from rodend hole to rodendhole ?

I purchased the cross member from chassie engeneering, and trimmed it to fit into the contour of the rocker panel but first had to trim from the back of the hump so the cross member fit snug to the original.

the bottom one is 17" with one end adjustable the top one i have to re measure but check the picture and let me know. all on this suspension is made on this shop im working in with the exception of the cross member.

Cool, Cool........... I've got the same style of crossmember but I got mine from www.chassisworks.com

I'll need to run my upper and lower control arms on the inside of the frame rails though cause I'll be running a pretty wide tire.

Nice project, I like it !
