Default Anyone buy or build a trans crossmember? lifted

Lifted my 2001 2500 with a NV5600 and notched the factory cross member but the front shaft still hits. Cant find a bolt on replacement but if no luck from anyone on here i will build one. Just kinda in a pinch right now. Also looking for build ideas. Thanks

Post a pic of where it is hitting? Is it practical to notch it some more?

Dont have pics at the moment, but i basically took and notched or cut out everything directly under the carrier and welded a plate in. I'm having a new 1450 carrier with new shaft and yoke made. Thinking of building a hoop style over the shaft then mount to the frame or drop the whole driver side section down. Thought maybe there would be a kit to weld up by now.

I build them but need the truck here. There is only one company that makes them, that I know of, but it's like $400 dollars and looks ugly.
Edit: added a picture of the company's cross member
