WOOHOO that ROCKS!!!! ... now could ya just move that forward about an inch and ahalf on the frame????

Capt, I've been thinking about it, and why didnt you take another inch? Just because you didnt need it?

yeah why?

is that 2" removed from the x-member or 1.5"???

if that wuz 2" and you raised your x-member 2", would that remain everythinmg stock?

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR i love that sh1t !!!!!! need more info though!!!!

Thanks N2TRUX.

I posted this method before, but it musta got lost...

At the time I only wanted to do 1.5" as after that you really get into some trouble with what you have been reading on here, BUT, I am going to be doing 2" next go around, as will the rack and pinion setup. I had some people interested in purchasing these, and I will still build them for those interested.

The whole website transfer (my purchase of www.73-87chevytrucks.com) held me up some, but I should be getting in the grove again.

I wish i would have kept the one i had took out. I could cut it up for fun.

If ya go two inches your gonna have to go with a rack. I know cause I had to do some interesting grinding to get mine to work.

I definitely agree, If you go lower than 1.5" you will have to use a rack.

grnddwn,
if you used your stock box and went 2", I would like to see pics from the front for curiosity sake.

Yes, I too am interested in your "interesting" grinding.

I'll be doing the 1.5" with your method soon. Just need to pick up a spare crossmember just in case. :D

I have a crossmember sitting in my garage for this, but now, I think I'm going to Z it. 1.5 isnt going to help me get down and I think it would be close with 3, so Z here I come!!!

Send me the spare and I can put one on ya.. for a small fee. ;)

BTW, what is this going under Izzy? you got rid of the '83....

I may just do that or if you can get a spare one locally I can pay yah for that too. :D

Yeah I sold the 83 to Physh1 several months ago this is for a top super secret project. :p

Email me Izzy at captkaos@charter.net, I should be able to get some now.

Will do, it'd probably be worth the trouble to have you do it for me. :D

That and his welder has been working on a new play house.

Sweet. Looks pretty similiar to the buddies shop I work out of. :D :metal:

Yeah, VERY sweet. I would love that in my side yard too. I can fit 3 of my garages in there. 60'x60' with 16' doors.

Anyone have anymore progress pics?? Installed?? Running vehicle??

I originally cut mine for two inches but I put in a 1/4 inch spacer after running into some clearance problems. I also found that if I only put the outside nut on the U bolt so the bolt just came out the top and then cranked down the other side it cleared quite nicely. I'll take some pics when I pull my motor next month.
