Thanks for the props guys. The x member is off a 4wd....which is necessary due to pad height. I made the adapter plates bolted it to the trans and used the shims to set pinion angle. Then I marked the frame...drilled it for the bolts. I used the oem nuts and bolts. A tip for drilling... 3/16 or 1/4 pilot hole. Then use a unibit. It cuts thru the frame like butter. I did not modify the x member one bit. Just had to make the adapter plates/shims.
