i believe these kits are based on Mustang 11 which is a little week for 1/2 tons unless you dont hit potholes and stay on nice roads

If you are looking to lower and get better steering check out "Porterbuilt" before you decide.He is a BB member and has a very nice looking crossmember for these trucks.I think it is designed to use the stock or aftermarket control arms for these trucks so strength should not be an issue.

Re: Fat Man Fabs Front crossmember??
hey the world famous 67 drag truck has one in it and he was pulling the front tires real hard i think the new owner has it set up better so it doesn't lift quit as much.. heres a picture.. fat man front end.. oh by the way it drops the weight by 200 hundred pounds. i would not be afraid of using it.. i couldn't afford it so I'm putting together a cheap heidts set up for my drag truck. I'm not saying heidts is cheap i mean i got the parts cheap piece by piece since they are so common..
