Giles70chevy,

With the x-member sectioned I had to add some tabs onto the top of the x-member to bolt the rack unit bracket on. Also where the steering rod goes though the frame was a little tricky due to the sectioning and forward movement of the x-member. All and all I’m happy with the kit. Good luck on your project.
