Weights: Torque Arm Relocation Kit, UMI vs Stock Replaced my stock transmission crossmember and torque arm mount with a UMI torque arm relocation kit (P/N 2207). Thought others may be interested in the weights of each. Pictures attached for clarification if needed.
Stock transmission crossmember and torque arm mount: 10.16lbs
UMI torque arm relocation kit p/n 2207: 9.93lbs

Did you already install it?
Hopefully you got one of the new versions of that crossmember where the holes on the mount arent threaded. For others who might read this. If they are threaded , I suggest reaming out the holes so they slip through and use a simple nut and bolt setup and also get rid of the stupid allen style head bolts. You will thank yourself later for doing that. There is very little room to work once you get under there.
After talking to UMI about my issues i found out I got one of the old styles and didnt realize how hard it was going to be and just dealt with it. It was nearly impossible to fit the bolts in the tunnel even using the lower hole settings with the mount threaded. Its a tight fit. The top holes were useless unless i were to take a hammer and dent the tunnel for clearance.
Just some small little problems I had for mine during install that you might encounter as well.
