I see you have not welded in the Xmember, tack it first then add the rack & Pinion and and see if the bellows clear the bottom of the frame. What I am getting at may not be of a concern but I did have to noch the bottom of the frame to clear the R&P rubber bellows. In hind site if I would have put a bit of a spacer on the underside of the frame where the x member mounted it woulh have saved some time and welding in a noch . eithe way works great, just sayin!!
How do you like the work of Scotts suspension?

It looks like I am going to have to put in a notch for the R+P. I ran into a bit of a snafu with the unit from Scotts. Somehow when the unit was being fabbed a small error was made. The shock towers at the top of the unit were to short and I couldn't bolt up the coils because they hit the cross member before the bolt could go through the hole.(see pics). Not a big deal I called Justin and in less then 24 hours I had longer brackets at my front door.I can't say enough about the customer service with Scotts Justin was actually communicating with me on a Sunday evening at 10 p.m.! Now I just have to get my ass up off the couch and weld the new ones in.

The new ones mocked up in place

I am not surprised to hear about the good customer service with Scotts and Justin.
Did he offer to send one of his welders out to NJ to install them also!!!
He does some nice Tig welding!

LOL unfortunately no, and worse yet I don't trust my welding skills on something as important as the front end of my truck. Sooooooo, I had to have the mobile welder I have been using come back and weld the new mounts on. Oh well I guess this is just something you have to expect when your building hot rods. I'm sure this is not the last of the small set backs I will have on this project!
