What are the PROS and CONS of a Dropmember?

[texastrendz]

don't forget about the fender issues, hood hinge issues, floor board issues, drive shaft issues. ya better know how to fabricate if you buy a drop member, yes it bolts on but nothing else will around it. just my 2 cents, and yes i will be getting one for my truck.

You'll have to worry about those issues if you want the rails on the ground regardless of how it's done.

True. Bolting on the DM is the easy part...

I don't think floor boards will come into play with a DropMember at least in the 67-72's. That only hits when you air out a stock Cross member and the wheels swing back into the fire wall, DropMember keeps everything centered. As for the drive shaft yes you will need to have it adjusted but that is normal for any big drop and as for any cab cutting to clear the drive line Nate has that solved with his trailing arm Cross Member.

True the 1 Con is cost but you have cost with anything you do if you want it right. Is it over priced for what you are getting I don't think so at all and that is why I bought one for my 72 Tahoe instead of building my own what every chop and cut version. Most of you know who have seen my work I could do what ever is needed to get a vehicle as low as you can and have all the tools to do so in my shop but I want more then just in the weeds and that is why I am part of the Members Only Club
