The junkyard should have a few cross members available.

You can see where the bar mounts to on the sub frame right behind the oil pan. The bar of course use to be straighter lol. Sorry the under carriage pic isn't that good.

Thanks man. That helps a lot!! Would it be worth it to upgrade it? Would it even be worth it to do so or just leave it stock?
