You can use a 3/4 ton x member on a 1/2 you will need to notch the center to keep the angles right. As 3/4 ton frame is deeper thru that area. Some minor changes to upper bracket.
Drill new holes and some tweaking where its bolts to the upper flange. Also by using a 3/4 ton makes room for 3" pipes.
