Rear Trailering Arm Crossmember

Looking to see what different options people are using for the rear trailering arm crossmember. I'm not looking for anything super fancy. I have a swb frame that I'm redoing for a truck. It will have a 4 or 5 inch drop in the rear. I don't even mind modifying the stock crossmember, but the new ones have gotten so cheap it seams easier to replace it. If you have any pics, brand and price can you post it up. Thanks

Re: Rear Trailering Arm Crossmember

What are you trying to achieve? Are you wanting something different than the stock crossmember for a reason?

I am using a stock one with the trailing arm mounts flipped.

Re: Rear Trailering Arm Crossmember

I just figured instead of modifying the stock one by flipping the brackets and cutting holes for exhaust, it would be easier to just replace the whole crossmember.
