Re: 67-72 trailing arms in a 85?

I know there are plenty of kits out there but I am more interested in the 67-72 steup. I have all the rear suspension and drive train in the garage. It looks like the 67/72 traling arm x-member will fit fine between the frame rails but the fame is at an upward angle where it needs to mount. I was thinking of either a tubular x-member or putting the 67/72 one in the frame, cutting the bottom of the drive line loop out and extending it so I have ther room needed for movement. I dont thing the X-member mounted at an angle will affect the geometry but I lose room where the D/S passes through.
