XV lower radiator support

[runningman]

Can this piece be installed behind the existing support piece without getting in the way of anything?  I am thinking of trimming the back of the support and having just enough space to get the mig gun in there and keeping most of the stock piece.  I will be using the little extension pieces as well so there is clearance for the radiator.  Anyone done this??

Well...     here's the thing - it can be installed behind the stock lower rad support but stock radiators will not fit...       to mount it with the blocks to lower it (so a stock radiator will fit) will require removing the stock lower rad support or trimming the sh!t out of it...    at that point I would just cut it off.

Sorry, I wasn't very specific in my description.  What I was thinking of doing was installing the XV piece 3 or 4 inches toward the K-frame with extension pieces which should allow me to keep the stock piece as well.  I am just not sure if there would be any interference with any other components such as a sway bar and what not.  Thanks!

I also have to add that I have had my car torn apart for about three years now so I am not totally sure what kind of issues I would run into moving that piece back.  If it's better to just drill out the spot welds and install it where the current support is that is fine too.  I should have the pass side 26" support welded in soon also.  Just want to see if there are any better options.

there is not much room between the stock rad support and the K-member mount...      doubt it will fit there -
