Thanks guys. I am going to add a new 3/8" tube across the front where the front shackles used to be, some kits even come with that. I was thinking about welding it in, but I think I might bolt it in, just have to give it some more thought.

I have had the dickens of a time with keeping everything level. It seems that just sitting there, things will move. I know there is a small difference in the two sides front to rear, but the new crossmember itself will be level in the middle, but higher on one side than the other. then I'll check the rake, trying to hold 2 degrees fall to the front and I swear where I put the electric level will change the rake. I pulled a string line from front to rear to see if the rails were warped, but I can't find it. Ok, enough complaining for one day.
