PCD: Did you lay out your vert. lines 90 deg. off the bottom of the crossmember? Just curious.

This was a low tech mod :D I simply welded the bar across the part before cutting, reversed & welded in place then cut off the bar. It lined up & bolted back up up w/no issues.

To mark the cut lines i set it on level ground then used my level to mark the lines.

I should be doing another crossmember soon, ill take more pix for sure.
