Well the trailing arm cross member is coming out anyways and I'm pretty sure I can get to it easily, since the suspension will be off anyways and I think without that there I should be able to reach everything pretty easily to do the cutting/welding right?
I may even ditch the trailing arm member and just make a new piece out of thick square tube right behind the cab, so I keep the rigidity but I can get rid of the stock looking crossmember.
