Re: channeling

Most on here who lay frame use a dropmember in the front if you are trying to get the front lower it will do it.

Re: channeling

Welcome to the forum lucky09. As mentioned, the easiest route is a bolt in crossmember replacement. I would choose this over B/D, Z'ing, channeling or a sectioned crossmember.

Re: channeling

The aftermarket cross member along with a step notch set up in the rear will get the frame on the ground. The body/pinch welds are a little bit above the frame, so if you want the body on the ground you'll have to do some additional body modifications. PB also makes a bolt on body drop kit that handles this, but I don't know if it works for a lwb.
