I must be missing something here.... I'm doing the 8 lug to 5 lug swap myself(asked the same ??? a fiew weeks ago) and I was told I had to swap out the x-member because the 69 8 lug set up was different than the 87 5 lug I plan to change all the pieces-parts w/ new stuff, but for now , to just get the roling chassis going (to tub the rear and establish a ride height) I just unbolted the fiew bolts and the whole thing fell out. I have to drill out a fiew holes but the whole unit slid in.............................any Ideas ??
