Allpro looks too beefy.
Marlin one looks good, but doesn't look like it covers as much area of the belly.

What do you think is the best crossmember out there?

Thanks.

I like my all-pro crossmember I've bashed it fawking hard a bunch of times and it only has a couple minor dents. I'm sure you wouldent go wrong with any of those crossmembers.

The one from allpro is over built for some people but the marlin one is good too I like the budbuilt ones myself and there's trail gear too.

Or you could always build your own.

Luke, best response yet.

However, not at this time for me. I do not yet own a welder. Don't have a shop at all, bud. Just a few rusty tools and a couple hundred bucks to spend on one my truck needs NOW.

Thanks guys, still looking forward to hearing more about which of those ya'll think is best.

Can't go wrong with either one. I have a budbuilt which is built pretty damn stout. His service is great too. I didn't have the countersunk metric bolts to attach the skidplate to the crossmember (previous owner gave me the skid but no hardware which was purchased years ago). Budbuilt sent me the hardware for FREE. No shipping or anything. Thats pretty damn good service considering he has never gotten a dime from me. I even offered to pay for them, wouldn't take my money.
