Phillip,
The cross member is bolted to the frame through tube nuts which are welded to 
the frame.  There is a tech tip on how to reinforce the tube nuts to the frame. 
 Per my measurements there is 1 5/8 inches from the (bottom of the) frame to 
the tube nut on the forward spot and 1 7/8 inches from the frame to the tube 
nut on the back spot.  Hence, you would use the longer bolt on the back.  I 
also replaced my original bolts with Grade 8 bolts of the same length.  Be sure 
to check out that tech tip!
