That is interesting I figured that the cross member hitting the ground would be the first thing to bottom out (excluding the bump stops of course). Would using tubular lower A-arms keep them from bottoming out first and allow you to go lower so that the front cross member makes contact with the ground?

so I removed them now the lower a arms are sitting tight against the cross member.
it has stock spindles on it and the cross member is about a inch or 2 off the ground now.
in the back the stock un cut frame rails are laying on the rear axel housing .
I need to pan cake the front cross member 2 inches and put C notches in the back
so I can put some short springs in it to get some working suspension .
its going to be a 6cyl 5spd .
