Radius arm x-member

[The_Dealer]

i was looking at my rig at full flex and i noticed the front driveshaft is rubbing on the radius arm x member,stopping me from full flex. cant i take the x-member off? ive seen alot of people with ext radius arms mounted in front of the tranny x-member, without anything tying each side together. will it mess shit up and do i need it?

If you add extended RAs you can take it off, but you'll need more lift to take better advantage of them.

im going to be making some pretty soon, but im going to river rock oct 1st, and the xmember is holding back my flexage(im gonna need all i can get for that park), just seeing if i can unbolt the xmember from the mounts so it doesnt rub and posibly cause damage. i doubt ill be thru with the ext ra's by then

You might be able to notch the front of it slightly, or even pound it with a hammer, but I wouldn't unbolt it. Unless your cross-member is different from those that I've seen, the RA mounts are part of it.
