LS Swap Transmission Crossmember for 2WD GM Trucks
For those tackling an LS engine swap in an early GM 2WD pickup, the 1988-1998 GM Truck Crossmember (2WD Only) addresses the common challenge of securing both engine and transmission under heavy torque. Built from high grade steel with direct fit design, this crossmember maintains precise driveline geometry to help prevent vibration and angle related stress. It bolts directly to frame rails on 1988-1998 C1500, C2500 and C3500 two wheel drive models and accepts transmissions ranging from TH350 through 4L80. Installation requires no welding or fabrication so chassis integrity stays intact and you save time during final assembly.
No Weld Installation Simplifies the Swap Process
By dropping into the existing frame rail holes and securing with supplied hardware, this crossmember removes the need for cutting or welding. Builders save hours in the garage and avoid heat distortion that can weaken chassis rails. Whether you are tackling your first LS swap or servicing multiple trucks, the straightforward install keeps setup time to a minimum and preserves factory frame integrity.
High Grade Steel Construction for Lasting Strength
Crafted from premium steel tubing and reinforced plates, this crossmember stands up to heavy torque and repeated stress without bending or cracking. Each joint is precision welded to distribute load evenly across the structure, reducing fatigue in crucial areas. The result is a foundation that resists flex under hard launches or long highway cruises, giving you confidence that engine and transmission stay rigidly supported.
Engineered Precision for Accurate Driveline Alignment
Using CAD based contour matching, the crossmember fits 1988 through 1998 GM C1500, C2500 and C3500 two wheel drive frames with no trimming required. This exact fit keeps the LS engine and chosen transmission within optimal angle range to prevent driveshaft vibration. It also maintains proper clearance for brake lines and exhaust components, ensuring a clean assembly and smooth operation from day one.
Trust this crossmember to provide reliable engine and transmission support for your LS swap project.
