My question is at what height do I put the transmission crossmember? Does the supplied crossmember go at the bottom of the frame?

Thanx,

The inner supports will only line-up one way. The radiused part of the inner frame supports will face the engine. Go ahead and e-mail me some pics so I can get a better idea of where you're at!

On the transmission x-member, I normally bolt it to the tranny, and then adjust the transmission to it's desired height and angle, and then mark/drill the mounting holes through the side of the frame. Do this with the cab in place to ensure proper clearance. If it's just a rolling chassis with no cab, let the x-member set on the bottom of the rails until you get the cab in place.
