Default Opinions on Rustys 1" drop crossmember

The vibes are getting to me, it's time to fix them.

I can't afford an SYE right now so I decided to drop the T-case. Is this crossmember worth the bucks or should I just go the spacer route?

The total would be $152 w/shipping.

I probably wouldn't .They are only 1" blocks so they are hardly noticeable.I don't have a skid either.
