You dont need to change the cross member or carrier bearing when lowering the truck! The drive line stays intact and inline with the motor mounts, the trans crossmember and mount, the carrier bearing all remain inline as per the factory. Only the rear axle raises to reduce the pinion angle to carrier bearing angle. You start raising the drive line your going to cause all kinds of unnecessary u-joint problems! Shock relocators and an adjustable panhard bar are all that's required to lower the rear beyond 4" inches...
