What cross member? The skid plate, yea that came off. Nothing else. I just needed half inch more space between block and diff to get that last bottom right bolt out.

The crossmember is in the front. The subframe is in the rear. They are different parts.

Oh no. I lifted the engine up instead. Once you open up the drivers side so much to get at all the other shit, you can undo the one nut on the engine mount and lift the engine the 1/2". It stupid easy to get that mount from the side once you get that wheel cover off. You pretty much can only look at it, or wrench it, so you do it by feel, but really easy to do. Engine doesn't even have to come off the mount bolt. You really only need that much.
