If your talking about the bed crossmember...theb yes you have to cut thru that a little bit, if talkin about a frame crossmember then I think your in the wrong spot because you shouldn't have any problems

you can always move your stack toward the tailgate
just enough to not have to cut throught the cross
member. otherewise, your gonna have to DO IT MAN !

i have a quicke and newbi ? on this subject but does the truck (bed area) become weaker in any way when you cut this cross member? A couple of guys i work with said the truck would weaker and that i wouldnt be able to tow reall heavy with it. just wanted to see if there was any truth to this at all.

Thanks
