If it was me I would get the artec crossmember that has the brackets built into it for a long arm upper links, then get the lower Frame bracket and fab up some links :-)

You're backwards on that. The crossmember is for the lower links. You need brackets for the uppers.

While the artec crossmember is plenty strong, I wouldn't trust the stock frame brackets and bolts.

I have the artec crossmember with brackets, its beef. You get a pretty good workout installing it. Everything lined up to the bolt holes perfectly. If you are building your own links, this is the solution.
