When i did my t5 swap i also installed a cross member. Jumped thru hoops to get it to fit proper and install correctly with all the brake stuff in that area. I still have it installed and have had no issues yet, I just have not been under the truck in a while so i have not taken it off.
I also came to the conclusion that is can cause more damage than good. because of the twisting in these frames. It will be taken off come spring time and i do my normal maintenance routine.
