Re: pics of sectioning the stock front crossmember

I had mentioned this before somewhere else, but Street Trucks mag had a whole set of articles about old school lowering techniques circa'99-2000. They were done by a company called 'Turner Enterprises'. They used to offer kits to do these x-member sections. I think they were 1.5''.

You remember right protrash, they were 1.5". He also sold a prenotched x-member with a core exchange, and stepped lower control arms too.

Re: pics of sectioning the stock front crossmember

Yeah, newage. I always remember that article because I'd never seen that info before. I also purchased all my front suspension pieces from them and the tranny x-member. The x-member is the heaviest chunk of metal ever built to hold a tranny.
