Re-mount to the inside of the chassis rails.

I'd imagine you'd cut the original mounts off then run horizontal crush tubes through the rails and plate on each end of the new crossmember (bolting to inside of chassis rails). Radius arms could then be welded under the chassis.

Has anybody seen this done? Pictures?
