Going on 7" SUA......I think
Now that that's out of the way.......
I recently noticed that my cross member pictured below is basically floating between the frame rails. I don't see any bolt holes where it would bolt to and I don't see any tabs or welding marks on it. I know it's what holds the brake line and the E brake cable, but other than that, how important is this and where is it supposed to go? Would removing it then replacing it with some 2"x4" tubing (or something more comparatively sized) be better? Welded or bolted in? Any help would be much appreciated!
