Is the front frame crossmember NEEDED?
The front cross member that is right below the radiator?
I really want to just cut it off but im not sure if it would damage the strength of the frame
Some help would be nice and i searched but didnt really find

It is pretty weak - I bent mine up pretty badly last year on the trails.
A couple of things to keep in mind before cutting it off: It does offer somewhat of a protection factor - as you mention, it is below the radiator (better to hit the cross member than end up with a cracked radiator), and some of the front bumper skids use it as a mounting point.
