Re: Crossmember Drop

So, this is the second time I have read the whole thread. On the upper plate that the bag mounts to, do you use a plate or a cup? Does anything need to be modified on the spring pocket? I am going to section my crossmember 1.5", 3" drop spindles, plate on top of the bag and air ride arms. I am running a 235/40/20 on the front and wanna lay the frame. I am looking to have about a 5" ride height at the bottom of the frame. I also plan to move my crossmember foward 1" to correct the centerline of the wheel. I am also going to fab up R&P.

Re: Crossmember Drop

I am running a cup on the upper mount. I cut my crossmember higher to let the control arm come up more. Look back @ some of the pics.

I didn't see any pics with a cup on the top. I will go back and look.
Thanks

The Wallet Eater has a flat plate on top, no mod to the spring pocket... just the 1.5" xmember notch itself. Also, ART arms, bag mounts directly to LCA, and spindle.
