Looking under my truck I noticed the stock radius arms have an integrated crossmember. In piecing together my lift, I never checked to see if a crossmember was needed. I am going to run the superrunner extended radius arms. Is there a crossmember for this setup or do I re-use the existing? If there is one, can I fab one that is better than the superlift version?

Don't even bother installing the superlift version. On my truck it hits or hit the driveshaft. So I took it out and have not had a problem yet.
 






Ryan,
I can run without the crossmember? Cool - one less thing to make :)

Any thoughts on a dual shock setup for the rear? I'd like to use the stock length (that's with the SOA) because I have 4 fairly new Rancho 5000's. I'm gonna run single 9000's up front...

To me it would not be worth the dual rears. However I have RS9000's which do a really good job of keeping the rear in check.
 






It's provided

They provide the Radious/Transmission cross member with the xtended arms. The old one will have to be removed. I found that the daul shocks help a lot.
 






Rocky,
Where is Holiday, FL?

Any chance you can make our run in June out in Inverness?
