I don't know if 1T frame is the same and I don't know what narrowing the cross member has to do with it? The motor is still the same width. What exhaust did you use? If it didn't hit the steering box it wasn't because you narrowed the cross member. What cross member? Motor, tranny, other? Explain please.

Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn
