Now the bottom side, stock has more clearance for the driveline. About 2 inches.
So, I pulled the entire crossmember, first to pull out that angle iron that the PO welded in. And since I now have it out, I can bolt it back in, upside down if you will. This will give me more driveline clearance on the top side of the crossmember. And since I have dropped the rear end four inches, it should be better for driveline clearance. Make sense?? If it doesn't work out, I can flip it back over without much work. |

Trailing arms look good! Nice work! :chevy:

So I have been working a ton, and saving some money so I could get a new rear end as mine will not work. So I called Moser today, and they told me that they couldn't make a rear end that would work with my disc brakes. I called a local company, pretty much the same thing. So I was pretty bummed out.
I happened to check out craigslist today..... JACKPOT!!!! 12 Bolt, trailing arm suspension and 30 Spline!!! |
