01 1500 frame/cross member rusted, what is it to replace?
2001 2wd xcab, changing oil and see rusted cross member in front from frame to fame near front end suspension. Cant find what those two bars are called so I can replace. Seem to be less important due to being frame to frame but I am sure they are there for a reason. I have 195k miles and still going strong. Thanks in advance. Frame diagram or something?

I will try to get a pic of the bars in question. I may just end up repairing by welding, hopefully there is enough good metal left to weld. I dont think they are torsion due to the fact they bolt from cross member that supports trany/back of motor to front of frame. All rigid connections.

I was totally wrong on the location of the supports after review. They run from frame forward to hardware on front end. I removed and welded a piece of rebar to reinforce. Will continue to look for replacement.
