NV4500/NP205 Crossmember

Are you guys using the stock getrag crossmember or fabing up new ones for the nv4500 conversion. Also I would like to see some pics. of your first gen 4x4 crossmembers with or without the nv4500. Thanks

The last one I did I just made a spacer, about 2" if I remember right.

I think I used 3" square mild steel tube as a spacer. I'll crawl under there and try to take a few pictures.

I was wandering if you were building a jog into the crossmember because the mounts are inline with the front cv joint, but you are using big spacers with a flat crossmember. It looks like I will probably be able to use my stock chevy crossmember and just modify with spacers also. Pictures would be great, Thanks.
