Default Re: Now you know the rest of the story!

If I was installing a new cross member, I would cut the frame flanges at one frame horn ahead of the crossmember and, with heat, bend the horn outboard until the new crossmember will slip in. Once installed, straighten and weld the horn. The horns carry very little load in front of the front crossmember. They just need to be straight and parallel. Gar Williams
