BTW the very front factory crossmember is still in, the instructions didn't stay to remove it but I've seen most PB trucks with it out.

Any ideas from the experts??
I'm hardly an expert but I took mine out. Use some ratchet straps to bring the frame rails together to line the bolt holes up. That worked for me. Hope that helps.
