I tried searching for a fix for my problem but no luck. I'am installing a RC LA kit on my 90' xj and the trans mount is not lining up w/crossmember. HELP !

You sure you have the cross member bolted to the right holes on the frame rail?
There should be 1 extra hole on each side of the rail you utilize with the new cross member.
I ran into the same problem with mine because I didint fully read the instructions.

I had to hook a ratchet strap over the front axle and cross member to line up the holes.

I ran into the same problem. I called Rough Country and they told me to pull the tranny over a bit. Its suppose to center your tranny better.

thats how I did mine and it worked fine
