We will loose the front x, yes. No big deal, the original is actually even with the bottom of the frame, it doesn't hang below it. The KIT is just the x member and lower/uppers ect..Here is the kit 2nd one down

We will still use the existing "boxes" for the engine mounts, that wont be a issue. We will just cut them down a few inches and weld a plate on it.
If we order the smaller one then we either need to notch the frame 1/2" on each side or we will need to add 1 " to the x member. I don't really think it will be that hard to notch it and box it, I just wanted to see what they suggest, they might even be able to make one for me.
I am almost positive I am going to get the AME kit though, seems to be the easiest way. They also come the closest in the track width we will need.
