That's a nice set-up. I think the rod ends on the control arms might make for a harsh ride though, but it should handle really well.

interference
What is the problem with the stock steering, what is binding up, only allowing you to do a 1.5 inch crossmember drop on stock stuff?

With tubular arms, would a 1.5 inch crossmember drop be ok?

crossmember
How much should I be looking to pay for a crossmember? Also is it hard to take out?
A Pull it yourself junkyard is like 10 minutes from where I am right now. Just wondering how much I should be looking to pay, and how hard is to get out. Also how heavy is a crossmember? |

A stock one? They charge me $75 for the ones I have gotten. This is JUST the crossmember though.

Err can this get any longer? How about writing a book! I'm scared to ask a question without spending hours reading to see if it's been asked!

Ok Would it be true to say with a crossmember drop it wouldn't effect ground clearance under the arms? your just bringing the frame closer to the ground right?

I know Slammed67 did a crossmember drop for XXL & Ken drove his truck back home. I believe thats how he managed to knock that small hole in his oil pan.

I did my crossmember drop myself with Bill Turner Arms. I will get pics up soon! I have been working on my suburban every monday-thurs for the last 3 months! Almost there. Doing Brake lines and fuel lines tonight. Didn't know stainless could be so much! Get my shocks today. It is all starting to come together!
