Does this strengthen the frame at all? What are the benefits to running this? I don't think i have any cracks in the cross member now but its been a awhile since I've checked.
 
should stiffen the front clip some, since it's sturdier than the stocker, especially if yours is cracked, like so many of ours. i think most guys get it for clearance or just an upgrade when the old one breaks.
 
What vortec said. I think you could also gain enough clearance to run a straight draglink instead of bent if you run crossover.

You thought right! :D I'm running a straight PSC draglink with the ORD crossmember and they don't touch at full compression.
