I would imagine to swap the front cross member the engine will either need to come out or some way be supported? Thx again
I just jacked my engine up and blocked it while I swapped the entire cross member on one of my trucks. I had to re-drill one hole on each side and enlarge one hole on each side. I think the front cross member is the only assembly that will swap in with a minimum of modifications.
