To make room for the Cage Radius Arms mounts, it is necessary to relocate the OEM transmission cross member back a couple inches. Thus requiring a fabrication of a new cross member.
Some OEM pics
Purchase some square 1/4" thick tubing 2 X 4"
remove the transfer case skid plate
Cut to length (37")
Trial fit
The OEM cross member can stay in place while fabing, notice the notching on the passenger side OEM to make room.
Making the bridge for the transmission mount (4.5")
Cut at 45% to ease nut access
Using a tall Axle stand to support the transmission so OEM cross member can be removed
Tack everything together
Take it off and weld it up
Painted and installed
Plenty of room now
