So when you remove all the 2wd goodies you no longer have engine mounts or a engine crossmember. With our easy HD bolt in option you can get your project underway and have that engine in! Great for use with leaf spring swaps or our Super duty axle conversion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy use the Hogback Fab 2wd-4wd Engine Crossmember?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur crossmember bolts into factory holes on the frame making it easy to locate. Being .25\" thick it is way stronger than a factory 4x4 crossmember. Comes powder coated ready to install instead of using some old rusty frame pieces. Our Crossmember captures a lot of the frame creating a much more ridged structure. Works with our motor mounts or stock ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow easy is it to install the Adjustable Squarebody Engine Crossmember?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eVery easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove the stock engine crossmember, this involves removing the rivets that hold them in place.
