Frame bracing next to shock crossmember
Does anyone know if you can buy these pieces? I'm not sure what's happened to this one but it's got to come off...

I don’t know if it’s made but if you took it off a fab shop could probably whip that out pretty quickly and shouldn’t be too expensive

Re: Frame bracing next to shock crossmember
If I had to venture a guess, these pieces resists the bending forces that the tongue weight of a trailer would cause and/or a heavily loaded rear section of the bed. There area also similar forces caused by hitting bumps that ultimately push up on the frame near their locations.
Replacing the cross member with a fabricated one may not serve the same function as these stiffeners. I'd put them back in, in some fashion or another.
