Thanks again! It looks like I should be ok. I think I'll put one of the mount points next to the cross-member but for the most part won't worry about bending the frame. If I do start seeing things that make me worry, I may add a cross-member between the slider mounts such that it will clear the drive shaft, muffler, etc. whatever happens to be in the way. I'm in the final design stages so I'm not 100% sure about the final locations of the mounts.
