Got 2 friends running it and it works well. His welds are quite nice and he's a nice guy to deal with too. I've gotten other things from him.

Thanks for the responses. Those of you that are running it, what skids are you running? Looking at the JCR skid I run with the stock crossmember looks like even trimming it, it won't work with the b.lee's setup.
Also, mounting the new crossmember, is it just the 6 bolts? Did anyone weld it in place?
I know it's allot questions but 800 bucks doesn't come easy these days and I wanna make a wise purchase.

I've got stiffeners waiting for me to weld on. Looks like I either tap those too or over size holes and tap the frame rail. Still wondering what to do with the skid. There's gotta be options out there. I spoke to Brian and they have a skid down the road but I'd like the protection soon than later.

When I brought up the skid possibility Brian made it clear that for a little extra they can bend and weld in a skid to the crossmember.

I always wondered if the stiffners would make fitment an issue. So from what I am reading, there are no issues? I am asking because I am thinking real hard on buying B's kit and want to do the stiffners at the same time while everything is apart.
Thanks for all the great real world info. guys and keep it coming.

I'm really ready to pull the trigger on this kit but quite frankly, I'd like some kind of skid option. Even if it were from another company and I could make it fit with some cutting. Really though, I'd like B.Lee to come up with something integrated. It doesn't need to be TNT's...but something stout.
