SHOPTALK
See the G Force Crossmember Overview for more info.
This transmission crossmember is installed with transmission mounting tabs positioned towards front of car, and exhaust double humps are on the top, next to floor pan.
If you need them, aluminum spacers are provided to customize the height of your transmission mount. Position them between the crossmember and your GM three-hole transmission mount. Use longer bolts to insure full engagement into transmission mount. Some applications will not require any spacers.
Some vehicles of this generation are equipped with a crossmember that bolt directly to the frame rail, while others are equipped with transmission crossmembers that utilize tab that sits on the frame rails and are embedded with a rubber liner. The RCAE bolts directly to the frame rails using the factory frame holes. Do not use the rubber liner. Instead, use the provided 7/16″ hardware and enlarge holes in your frame rails with a 1/2″ drill-bit. If you choose to use the stock size 3/8″ hardware, it is strongly recommended to use new Grade #8 fasteners to compensate.

I initially bought the RCAE crossmember and found out my frame is slightly wider than standard. This RCAE-W was a real lifesaver. This is super sturdy and came with extra shims. My original crossmember utilized rubber inserts and the unit was able to shift around. This RCAE-W gives your frame extra rigidity and supports in the mid-section that it needs. Cleared my 3" exhaust with ease and also worked out perfectly for my parking brake cables. All that was needed to do was enlarge the stock holes to 1/2" and it bolted right in. Can't say enough good things about this product!
Thank you for the great review and pictures. We're glad the RCAE wide frame crossmember worked out for you. We appreciate you business.
