Thanks for the info. Now my next question is, will any damage occur by
unbolting the crossmember with weight on the front wheels (car up on ramps)?
Will the holes line back up when I go to re-install the crossmember?

I had mine up on tands (supporting the frame). I suspect you'll want to do the
same, having weight on the tires could make it a bit difficult. re-installing
the crossmember shouldn't be a problem.
