Default 02 2 piece crossmember

So I was looking at lift kits for our trucks, and the BDS 6 inch suspension lift says that it will not work with early 02 models with a 2 piece crossmember, could someone explain to me this 2 piece crossmember so that I dont go buying a 3000 dollar lift kit just to find out that it wont fit... lol. So anyone with any info on this 2 piece crossmember and how I can tell the difference of if I have it or not could you please chime in?

My Rough Country kit came with a front and rear cross-member, although mine is a 2wd and yours is 4x4. But maybe that's what they meant by 2 piece cross-member? I can go snap a picture of this if you need to see exactly what I'm talking about, just let me know

That would be a great help creative, I dont know for sure if the crossmembers are the same for 4wd and 2wd or not but its a start. I may call bds as well to ask them, or go down the the local offroad shop and see if they have any idea.

Could I just get a picture of someones crossmember? like an 03 so that I can either figure out if mine is the same, or if it is different...
