I was at the costa mesa good guys show in march & asked the guy at no limit if I should take out the remaining cross members. He said no, weld a brace diagonally from the rail to the cross member. Just wondering what you guys think. thanks James
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

You could also just weld gussets between the frame rails and crossmembers. But if you're not using a V8 or big inch I-6, you probably don't need to worry about it.
