This picture is another forum members set-up and his tranny crossmember is mounted at the very bottom of the frame. I would have to have mine at the very top and still possibly have to install some spacers to reach.
I have a phone call and email in to PB, so I am interested in what the say.
Thanks, John

John-
The angle of the trans needs to be right at 5 degrees to get all the angles to line up and function properly. Also, we have several different options on motor mounts... so we can tweak as necessary to get your set-up right where you want it.
Here's what you need to do... you can't run the truck pan with the Dropmember... the front of the pan is too deep and will hit the rack.
Switch it over to the F-body pan from 98-2002.
Once the correct pan is in place, install the rack and let's see how much room we have between it and the rack (as this is where our clearance is limited). If we have room to move down... let us know and we can send out some different mounts, different truss tabs, or a combination of the two.
Whatever we need to do.
Let's get the correct pan in place and set the rack in to confirm clearance there, then we can make adjustments if necessary.
