Hear is another product for stabilizing your rear cross member. Removal of the cross member is required in order to install these items. If you are doing a some heavy wrenching anyway now would be a good time to install this low dollar up grade.

Wow Larry...I've never seen that particular upgrade. Kewl. Then again, I've never seen or heard of anyone ripping ou the holes in the crossmember, either! LOL  I guess it wouldn't hert to have them, anyway. Thumbs Up
