the staang fab crossmember only uses the 4 stock crossmember mounting holes/studs IIRC. or have they changed that?

 

i run rubicon express havent had a prob in 2 years, 7'' ish . flexes like crasy

 

Rusty's know people that run rhem love them with no problems

 

they never did just rely on those. billy layed the beads on my rig personally.
the studs were only used for alignment purposes. eric makes the crossmember a bit longer just so you can bend and weld it all up.

this kit is just as good, or dare i say, even better than claytons, and with much better customer service. very comparable design.

and yeah, any basement fabricator can muster up some arms using their dryer plug, but it's all in the crossmember fab.

 

so there original intention was for the buyer to weld it? that makes more sense.
