Adding support

I have a crossroads cruiser that I want to add a strong arm support frame to, belly frame is enclosed and the spare tire is an underbelly mount right at the front edge of the lower deck. How can I find the metal cross beams at the front landing gear and also near the back at rear support legs. Will I have to find a new place for mounting the spare. Thanks in advance

I installed BAL lock-arm struts. Could not find anything between the I-beams to mount to so I mounted the upper bracket to the underside of the bumper. Works very well and provides side-side and also fore-aft & vertical reduction in movement. I mounted a short length of 2x2 steel to the bumper, then the bracket to that. I haven't installed any struts to the stabilizer (electric) jacks at the front as just adding ones at the rear has made a big improvement and don't think adding one to the front will help all that much.

Can you post photos to give an idea what the challenge is?
