front of frame measurment

I need a measurement of the front end of the frame. (where the bumper brackets mounts). My bumber brackets are off and I'm getting ready to weld in a front crossmember I made. My frame was a little tweeked and want to make sure I have the correct width before I cut the crossmember and weld it in place. If someone has their front end off and has a good frame could you please measure from outside to outside the frame rails in the very front. Thanks, Ronnie

Re: front of frame measurment

The frame should be 34" front to back on the outside of rail to outside of rail measurement.
