Hear is another product for stabilizing your rear cross member. Removal of the cross member is required in order to install these items. If you are doing a some heavy wrenching anyway now would be a good time to install this low dollar up grade.                                                  

Cross Member Tabs____________$11.95

Wow Larry...I've never seen that particular upgrade. Kewl. Then again, I've never seen or heard of anyone ripping ou the holes in the crossmember, either! LOL  I guess it wouldn't hert to have them, anyway. Thumbs Up
