help on getting the C10s crossmember on the pavement

[avysittinon22s]

My current front setup is- upper plates, lower 1 1/4" cups, stock arms, bumpstops removed, 3" spindles, 2600lbs bags, 27" tall tire.

Tubular upper and lowers on the list for sure. I dont really wanta spend a grand on a drop member yet and not really looking to lay frame, so Im looking into sectioning the crossmember 1.5" and moving the steering box up.

Anyone have any accurate info or pics if the crossmember will lay if I add the arms and section the crossmember? Currently frame is 3.5" from pavement. Id like to get it 1.5"-2".
