This ZF5 Transmission Crossmember is made for 1980-1997 Ford F250's and F350's. It is fully fabricated out of 1/4" steel and has a large driveline drop section that works well for lifted trucks that need more driveline clearance or stock trucks. This crossmember works great in trucks that already have a ZF5 and also works well for converting your truck to a ZF5 manual transmission. One of the benefits of this crossmember is that it bolts to the inside of the frame rail, and not underneath the frame rail like most others, so that it does not interfere with aftermarket radius arm brackets or 4-link brackets. It will also work well for Cummins conversions but you will have to drill new holes because it will be moved back from the stock location.
Whats Included:
Note: Most all of these trucks have the holes that this crossmember uses from the factory but we have found that F250 4wd automatic trucks do not have these holes and they will need to be drilled accordingly. We have also found that many of the aftermarket transmission mounts have a wider stud spacing than the OEM mount and require the holes to be opened up a little bit.
We accept product returns within 30-days after you have received your order. All returns are subject up to a 20% restocking fee after approval.
I ordered the crossmember for my 1997 f250 that I converted from automatic to manual transmission. I was told it would be about 2 weeks to fabricate it. I was told when it was in fabrication and again once completed and ready for shipment. I received in two days from the time I was told it would ship! Once I received it, I was very impressed with the workmanship and it went in perfect! Very happy with both OBS solutions and Carrick customs!
Obs solutions offer's tasteful upgrades....well thought out.....the hood strut kit looks and functions great...also bought there dash light led upgrade and early on the hydra ash tray holder which was my favorite...no one knows you have a tuner and no clutter on dash....shout out to Taylor at swift current lighting another great vendor that is associated with obs solutions.....helped me with install on cluster......obs is my go to for my beloved 97 f250 diesel
The light went in no problem and look great at night, the only down side was I ordered the wrong one, which is on me because I didn't realize I had the metal dome light. Only recommend to double check the kit you order. Sorry for the dirty dash, its a work in progress.
Originally planned to piece together a set of links for my 99 Dana 60 axle under my bullnose ford. When adding in the time wasted trying to source different parts and hardware as well as designing them this was far cheaper and very high quality. I ended up welding the tabs to the frame. I figured if I ever decided to run no sway bar they wouldn’t hurt being there. Even when pushed to the edge of the frame there is a little miss alignment from mount to the sway bar but I doubt it would ever hurt anything. I added some 1/2 inch aluminum round stock spacers between the links at the top mount to push the links inward toward the center of the frame and that seems to have helped the alignment of the links and made the mounting position more parallel. Overall super happy with these. If sky’s has made it for the front end of my truck it’s under there.
The steering linkage upgrade for my Dana 60 axle is top shelf. The rep at OBS was excellent to deal with, Replies to my questions were very quick and helpful. The package arrived in a timely manner and in excellent condition. I highly recommend OBS for your custom parts and obs parts.
Great product! Easy to install one step closer to getting my Lighting restored!!
Excellent product and solution for my OBS Bronco
