I was concerned that the springs being 20" apart was too close, and pinching the frame would make that worse. I want to do as much as possible myself, and I don't feel comfortable welding suspension mounts on a suicide front end. That is why I was hoping to use the factory crossmember. I figured on cutting the frame rails just in front of the crossmember, and putting a contour on them and maybe a spreader bar to dress it up.
