Notching front crossmember?

[Slammed67]

Has anyone notched their front crossmember (as a lowering method)? I saw this done in a Street Trucks magazine (done my Bill Turner Enterprises). Looks pretty simple to do. My only concern is the oil pan to cross member clearance. My engine is already sitting in a lower "custom" location, so I'd need to address that problem. Also think there may be some steering linkage-to-frame interference. Why would I want to do this? Well, I'd like my truck to sit a little lower at ride height and this seems to be the easiest (and safest) way to do it. Other option would be to modify my lower a-arms, but I think I'll leave those alone. It'd be a 1-1/2" notch by the way. I've got a spare crossmember that I can cut up so I can take my time and keep my truck on the road. Just curious if anyone on here had tackled this modificaiton.
