Remember, In my case I'm running an SM420, Toybox, Split case. There is no cross member for the tranny. Its only supported at the bellhousing. Adding an additional 10 inches to the length of the driveline makes the moment-arm that much longer. Keep in mind, the reaction force at the bellhousing is a function of weight AND length.
I'm really not trying to debate weather this is necessary or not. I only wanted to know if this plate already existed or if I'm gana have to cut one out myself.

The type of 4x4 use where it wouldn't be a problem wouldn't likely be interested in a doubler in the first place.

To remove all question about whats going on here, I drew up a diagram. I may need to have a MOD move this to HC. I just thought I'd have the best chance of finding the answer in the 60 section since split cases came in 60's.
Thanks for the input guys

Got it all finished up.
Still going to throw a crossmember under the mini case and skid them.
BTW, DHONDAGOD did an awesome job of tucking the whole exhaust up tight. The cat sits right over the crossmember but has a ton of room all the way around.

What happened to all of your hard lines on the passenger side frame rail? That has been an issue I'm facing with my own cross member.

I unbolted a couple of the hold downs. They are currently bent up above the mounting tabs on that frame rail. After I get the forward crossmember done, I will remount the line hold downs.
Just my .02... but I wouldnt leave it like that, It'll probably cause the the adapter plates for the toy box to come loose. I am running a sb350 sm 465/toybox/split case and have had no problems for two years in my 40. using just the two motor mounts and a heavy duty toybox mount.
Got my template all done. Should have it built and in on Tuesday.
Here it is with the crossmember.
Can you send 1 to oz?
