I have decided, that at this point, having the crossmember physically sitting on the ground is not that big a deal for me to warrant acquiring another set of control arms of whatever type.

Because I am not willing to raise the bed floor more than 4", the frame rails themselves (and rocker panels) will -never- sit on the ground, so the extra effort/money is not worth it. I can spend that elsewhere.

As it is, it should be a reasonable level of "cool enough."
Right on, thanks for clearing that up. There's no doubt, it's cool as hell already! I've only digested up to part 4 of your build but I'll catch up and keep following along.
