Re: manual tranny crossmember
Are you talking about the bellhousing style crossmember or a tail shaft crossmember?

Re: manual tranny crossmember
I don't know of anyone making a "lowered" version.

Re: manual tranny crossmember
You'll have to section the stock one,... or have someone fab a new one.
Do you have any pics of yours?

Re: manual tranny crossmember
I don't think you will have to worry about laying out.
What are your suspension plans?

Re: manual tranny crossmember
Sectioned crossmember will get you lower up front,... but the pivot point of your a-arms will still hit the ground first.
I'd cut the center out of your 3-speed crossmember and built a horizontal hoop out of tubing to connect the to end pieces back together. You're going to have to have the truck assembled,... with the engine and trans in place to see where to weld everything back together.
