I didnt break it with torque I landed on a rock ledge and the transmission/crossmember took the hit.
so I'm planning to tuck everything up a little higher hopefully to gain about 3" of extra clearance to the drivetrain.

A heavier duty aftermarket trans cross member may have saved your transmission. I think there are some vendors on this web site that make one. I was thinking of making a beefy trans cross member myself since the dimensions are easy to replicate, unlike an engine cross member would be.

that was exactly my plan currently I have 2 separate cross members built out of 2x2 and they hang 4" down from the frame I'm gonna re build them so the sit higher for more clearance and brace them together so they cant move at all. I've looked at some of the older threads here on cross members but most of the pictures a blurred but I've seen a few that I'll likely try to blend together.

I might try to put together a build thread here this weekend, to dump a bunch of pictures.
the rear fenders I started with cutting flat up to the bed support and then I marked an angle that followed the wheel arch and free handed it with an angle grinder.
