I feel like all the threads ive been reading about bagging c10s everybody is using some sort of a dropmember?

So my question is, does anybody know what some of the pros and cons of using a dropmember compared to using stock crossmember?

Thanks in advance!

i dont think that there would be any cons of using a dropmember, i dont even have one and all i can think of is positives about it

only con is MONEY$.. it raised, converts to rack an pinion, includes motor mounts, and centers wheel within the opening. plus it keeps suspension geometry correct so your tires dont look like they are falling inward at the top. oh and a stock crossmember does not allow your frame to lay unless you hack it up. AND you can steer while laid out, did I forget anything??
