Needing some crossmember advice
Bought a 67 Step and it is lowered, don't know how far but I am ASSuming around 5-6 in the rear. My question is what does the pinion angle need to be now. Also my stock crossmember has grooved my driveshaft. Do I need to purchase the drop crossmember or change the pinion angle. All opinions are appreciated. Also the headers are the right part # but they are touching the A arm pivot point. Any suggestions? Thanx.
