This was the first design we had, we may make some changes to these in the future but the addition of these will add a significant amount of strength in the mounting design opposed to just mounting it to the bottom of the unibody

We will also be shipping these with the Lower link mounts boxed in.
We THINK this cross member will work with an AX15 too, but we don't have one local to test on.

My DD is an AX15. 
Ship it on down here. I'll make sure it fits for it.
The AX15 crossmember mounting surface is 5/8" lower than an auto crossmember. I see no reason why it wouldn't work. Same transmission mount, same location, etc. Just lower.

Really interested in this for the price point. Like asked above what's the final flat rate and does the unibody tie ins come standard? Also are your kits going to be pre drilled do this t-case skid for us that want one but also want to jump on this preorder?

The unibody side plates will come standard
Right now we won't be pre drilling the cross member simply because we haven't yet finished designing the skid to a point where we could do the pre drilling.

But y'all will design it in such a manor that will allow current buyers to just drill holes to accept it? Here's my concern: I am not a very good welder and if I have to take it to someone to have them weld on something to accept the skid, it kind of defeats the pre-order discount.

Once the skid is designed and tested it will be available so all you have to do is drill 2 holes in the back of the cross member and the underside of the unibody
There will be 0 welding required.

This kit looks really nice. Can I get a picture of the clearance of the 3rd link looking at the TC output shaft. I have a LS swap and a clocked transfer case. The clocking rotates the driveshaft out to the frame rail a bit more than stock and driveshaft clearance is really tight between my IRO long arms and driveshaft.
Also, would you be able to not drill the trans crossmember?

As far as your last question..I think you are asking if we can ship the kit with the crossmember without the trans mount not drilled on (its a small piece of bent steel to push the trans up off the crossmember..if thats what you are asking yes we can do that. THe holes are slotted though so it leaves room for adjust-ability.

Excatly what I was looking for. Thanks for keeping the upper link tucked into the frame rail.
I'm going to think about this kit long and hard!

We think we have some things you guys will appreciate.
We have made a couple tweaks to our 3 link, and have gotten some better pictures of our work:
Our crossmember now features boxes Lower link mounts..and..we laser cut our Logo in
One more cross member shot:
Better shot of the links and Currie joints:
Side unibody Tie ins (come standard)
