i fitted 15mm spacers between the chassis and the crossmember and had to put longer bolts in aswell on my gq to get more clearance but it still rubbed when flexing or going around right turns. i ended up knotching out the cross member and welding a plate in there.

You have to cut out that piece of the cross member that the front tail shaft rubs on. :D
