Here's what I want to do...
Use 2x6x.250" tubing, cut out a notch in the center and box back in for the tranny mount, weld some C channel on the ends to sandwich the frame and run bolts through it as well as utilizing the stock mounting holes.
My question is, is it imperative that I notch out the center? I know it would raise the t-case, how would that affect the linkage? Also, I want to put in two more mounting holes in the bottom of the frame rails, one in front and one behind the stock holes, I've heard the term crush sleeves or something like that to use, anyone have any experience putting nuts in the frame rails?
I know this sounds like overkill, but it's also going to have LA mounts on it as well as tranny/t-case skids.
