its a 1963 suburban
2in pancaked stock crossmember
thx in advance
The trick would be to keep the relationship (elevation) from the LCA mount to the rack pivot points the same. So, if you set the mount bracket on the crossmember as designed, the geometry should be fine. Now, mounting the bracket may require welding in your case. Also, rack - to - engine clearance may be slim. Did you raise the motor at all?
