no nothing up close we butted the frame together and then took 1/4 steel plate about 7x8in approx. piece welded it to the outside then used the piece that we cut out and welded to the inside box the frame

to answer yes it does have leafs in the front anyways got motor and trans in today couldnt use factory mounting location cuz it put the motor to far back so instead motor mounts are sitting on the crossmember will weld some flatbar to meet motor mounts to crossmember with the body lift on the truck it sure makes that big 460 look small lol anyways motor and trans are in and sittin on there own!!
