if i'm understanding your question, you don't need a new cross member unless you're lookin to lay frame, or close to that.

My setup is bagged, bolt in C notched, with 2.5" blocks. I did cut holes in the x member for exhaust, and i flipped the carrier bearing so it's up higher. depending on your front end setup, your front cross member is going to hit long before the carrier bearing x member.

as for the T arms, i didn't see any need to move them. They are still in the factory location in my setup.

not the best shot, but this shows what i mean by flipping the carrier bearing mount:


there are some other shots showing the mount on page 2 of my build thread

does this help?
