but the measurements should fall somewhere between 4-3/8” to 4-9/16”. Re-
position the cross-member until the reading from each strap mount relief is equal and
falls within the range listed above.
20. Once properly
positioned, locate the
provided sheet metal
screws in the
hardware pack. As
shown in Image 11,
screw the cross-
member into each
frame rail to hold it
into position for the
upcoming steps.
NOTE: the cross-
member should draw
up tight against the
frame rail. Any floor
pan deformations that
prevent the cross-
member from fitting
flush against the
frame rail should be
adjusted using a pry-bar or rubber mallet.
21. At this step the cross-member may be welded to the subframe or bolted. If bolting is
preferred, proceed to step 22. If welding is
preferred, remove the cross-member and prep
it for welding by grinding the powdercoat off
at the weld points. Remove all paint,
undercoating and scale from the weld area on
the subframe then re-install the cross-member.
Weld a full 2” bead vertically on each end of
the plate and at least 4 inches of weld
horizontally on each side. Wire brush and
paint the weld area with rust preventive paint.
Proceed to step 28.
22. If bolting the cross-member into place,
position the provided frame reinforcement
plate as shown in Image 12. Mark the frame
at the center of the slot using a grease pencil or paint marker.
23. Center punch the marks on the frame to provide a drill centerline.
