I started this frame the other day, I always wanted to this. I cut 2" out of the stock cross member. I'll take care of the center link later.
I'm building this chassis with left over steel from other jobs. For now I'll use the stock control arms for mock up.
The center of the frame will be 2x4 .083 wall with .50x2" for the bracing
I raised it up to ride height then tacked some stands under it
I'll post some more pictures later on
