Low profile tranny crossmember

[*Als50*]

Is there a company out there that sells a tubular Trans crossmember to replace the stock bulky one that scrapes on bumps, if you're not careful?
The drop is 4" in the front and 3" in the rear. This is for a '00 Ranger.

From what I have looked at, no they don't make one. Some suspension kits have a cross member for long travel but that's a northern story

Did you try a simple google search? This was pretty much the top result in a google search for "ranger raised trans crossmember", "ranger low profile trans crossmember", and just "ranger trans crossmember". I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it's not difficult info to find.

If you want an actual tubular piece, Camburg sells one, but it's not going to be as "low profile"

Yep. Tried the Google Thing with the same results as yours. Wasn't sure if any members were running one on their truck so figured I'd ask.

That cross member from illusive is for 2WD not sure if there is a difference.

Oh. Well now that you ask, I have one from Illusive. It's an older design than what they currently sell. It sits entirely inside/above the frame rails, so nothing hangs below. Looks much better than the bulky stock one and keeps the trans where it should. It was a pain to install, but no other issues. The redesign may not be as difficult to install.

Yeah. It looks like a straight forward install, from the looks of it. I don't believe there's any drilling needed, from the looks of it. Thank you Gentlemen for taking the time out to respond to my post. Much appreciated!
