How high did you have to raise the control arms to be above the bottom of the frame rail? I'm hoping to hear from personal experience what route people have gone and the pros and cons or if they would do it differently now.
My 66 has a 2 inch sectioned crossmember. The steering was converted to a later model power steering. The body mounts were moved down an inch for a stock floor body drop.

I have a one inch sectioned crossmember for sale in the classified section if you are interested btw.
