Torsion bar crossmember install

I hear ya about leaving good enough alone, but I'm really anal when it comes to doing things, I'll have a nice new floor and an old pitted crossmember, it will drive me crazy after doing all that work, especially when all its gonna take is drilling out a few more spot welds, I'll definitely take your advice about doing a little bracing just in case

When you replace it spend some extra time and beef it up so the torsion bar mounts don't rip out of it after some heavy duty use. You can box in the top of the crossmember and then double weld the torsion bar mounts and/or add gussets to the mounts.
