Default Transmission crossmember aftermarket options ?

I have an 04 cateye extended cab and it’s lowered 5/8 dropped I have a couple suspension clearance issues going over major bumps and hills some not as major as others but that one transmission cross member scrapes bad sometimes going over even flat ground some times lol anyone make a kit that re fabricated the little hang down of the rear tail housing of the trans like cutting the stock bracket of the frame off and welding a new peice of steel to hold the trans mission in place ? Not sure really close to bag territory but I really don’t have the money for that yet lol let me know

I have no idea if the clearance is any better but speed engineering offers a aftermarket crossmember for a 4l80 swap. If you still have the stock 4l60 you may have to have a shop weld you one up for better clearance

I agree. the speed engineering for the 4L80 tucks up inside. I currently have about the same drop as you, my profile pic is an old pic

You want him to follow you on instagram, so he can answer your questions for you about your vehicle? WOW, that's gotta be one of the most self-entitled things I have read in a long time.

Let me offer you some friendly advice.

1. People on here, do want to help, but they aren't your bitch. This is one of the best automotive / performance websites you will find. Spend a little time learning, and not expecting people to do your work for you. Why would direct messaging someone 1 on 1 be better? When you post a thread, you have the collective knowledge of everyone to help, and not just trying to get one person to do your work for you.

2. Is this your first time on a website with forums? This "forum thing" is not that difficult to figure out. The forums are sorted by categories, and there is this option at the top called "SEARCH". You click on it, then type in the words that are related to what you want to LEARN.

3. Punctuation will help you, help us, help you. Don't expect someone to want to reread your posts 3 times you because you wouldn't add a period. Again, people are wanting to help you, so put in the slightest bit of effort and don't make it a hassle for those who want to do so. If you're past the 4th grade, then making an effort at making your post something people can read the first time, and not have to spend extra time following along with, should be something you should already be doing in your life.

4. Wow dude, welcome to the internet. You sure did get your panties in a bunch, and took it farther. Again, I'm only trying to help you, but so far you don't sound like someone who is willing to listen to criticism. I'm trying to help you, help yourself, and help the forum, by just saying what I see. I don't think you will see either.

@dirt track racer 81 will be able to help you, and you're helping a local supporter/small business man/family man

There are several options out there for either swapping or just straight up keeping the 60e
