My crewcab 4x4 cummins project

[Devillusion]

Nice...planning on doing more a less the same thing with my cab and chassis. Will be watching this one like a hawk.

Why the new crossmember? Fitment issues with the cummins?

Yes, the cummins is really tall and the stock crossmember has to removed and lowered to get the engine down far enough to be able for a bell housing to come up without hitting the floor on the cab.

Woo hooo got a lift kit pieced together ships out tomorrow.... Hopefully a weekend project getting the cross member in and the lift in... Lift is from Bds there making an 8" for my truck none of that soft ride springs.... Going with an additional leaf in the front spring pack and getting an extra inch block for the rear just in case it sits nose high. ..... Yay excited

So why not just do a body lift if you are building a lifted truck? Just curious, not critisizing....just want to know before I jump into doing mine.
