65 c10 Panckaed Crossmember question
 

So im about to pancake my crossmember 1.5 inches and ive read that you want to move the whole crossmember forward an inch to center the wheels in the wheel wells. But asi was looking at mine, it appears that if i move it forward, it will hit the steering linkage. Am i missing something?

You don't need to move it forward when pancaking the x-member. If you do move it, everything that connects to the steering needs to be moved as well.

I must have misread it then. So you just pancake and rebolt it in its original spot?

Yes

Thank you

Porterbuilt makes "forward arms" to center the wheels and change the geometry.

Yeah using forward control arms will be a lot easier then moving the crossmember.
