Quote: Here is the lower rad support. Its not much!
Definitely not a load bearing piece! I mistakenly started to lift my truck by that one time when I wasn't paying close enough attention, and it immediately started to bend and flex instead of lift the truck. it looks big, but it's made from pretty thin sheet metal.
but as said, I see no reason why that big giant cross member needs to be there up front, when there's already one a foot and a half back that sits under the engine. if you're worried about it, cut it out, and add a piece of 2x2 tube steel and save all that weight!
