Looks good.
On the front cross member(s) it looks like you used the front one from the flare side and that is what the running boards brackets are bolted to is that right?
Then the next one back next to the flare side CM looks to be the style side CM. The SS CM does not look to have the bed bolts in it so they must be in the FS CM and if so you will need to make block to fit in between that CM so the CM does not crush when the bolts are tighten down.
I could not use my front CM as the only thing that I could use was the running board brackets. Because of that I had to use the front CM from the SS so no need of wood blocks, and had to figure a way to get the brackets in place.

Yes I used the front cross member from the flareside. I plan on using some 1" black iron pipe as a block in the cross member.
