I think that boxing the frame will almost be necessary to use that cross member kit. The ends are designed to bolt to the side of the frame. I won't be surprised if I also have to modify the lower loop to clear the pan or axle.
Good point on the front axle/IFS situation. It does have the original axle and it was converted to disk brakes already. That I like!
Thanks again.

I should mention that I am going to drive it every day like an 80 year-old man. Oh, wait a minute. I am an 80 year-old man!
