Yup, I'm not concerned about it. I didn't notice any clearance issues with the crossmember itself, but was definitely hitting on the saddle that the LCA u bolt goes through. That's why I chose to trim the arm rather than mess with where the LCA shaft mounts to the crossmember.




Today's update:
I pressure washed as much of the frame that I could get to. Might as well sling some paint while most of the parts are off the truck. Make it look less rusty, but it'll get dirty real quick from driving it
