So how do I plan on supporting those Marlin Cases?

Our fabricator Rocky built this beauty. It started out as something completely different with a much different concept, but after a couple of "on-the-fly" design changes, I am proud to say this is one of the most bitchen crossmembers I've ever seen. Thank you Rocky! You did some awesome work!
These pictures don't quite give it justice. It is a real work of art how he got it all in place. I love it!
Here is the driver's side showing how we were going to have it removable at the tubes, hence the tacked-in-place flanges, and then we decided to use spring bushings much closer to the transfer case itself.
Another cool angle showing how close it all is:
Because we redesigned the mount at the t/case so much, we used what we had built. But I think sometime down the road it would be a great idea to connect the two sides together below the case in the center. That way I could minimize axial loading on the lower crossmember mounts.
