ok last pic for today
Xmember installed , the upper to bolt hole line up perfectly , the 2 in the bottom of the xmeber will not line up , so they have to be redrilled in the frame, not a big deal use 7/16th bolt & your good, I always put a tack weld on all of it anyway ..can't be too carefull
This xmember is out of a 87 Ramcharger , after 88 the xmembers are silghtly different , thats a whole other ballgame
For the more creative & adventious people ... yes you can lower a truck this way by notching the frame 2 inches...don't try 3inch too much crap to over come, its not fot the faint of heart or the mechanically challanged
I have a 77 440 4x4 warlock that I'm going to convert over in october ( I tried to talk the guy out of it , BUT ITS HIS TRUCK) I'll get more indepth with the whole Photo & step by step thing.
And yes this was all done whille the engine was supported by the hoist & yes the rans & transferr caes are still in the truck. they will be removed this weekend.
