Phillip,
The cross member is bolted to the frame through tube nuts which are welded to
the frame. There is a tech tip on how to reinforce the tube nuts to the frame.
Per my measurements there is 1 5/8 inches from the (bottom of the) frame to
the tube nut on the forward spot and 1 7/8 inches from the frame to the tube
nut on the back spot. Hence, you would use the longer bolt on the back. I
also replaced my original bolts with Grade 8 bolts of the same length. Be sure
to check out that tech tip!
