baggedgmc Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 If I was going to spend the money on a new crossmember i would look at the p57 from www.suicidedoors.com. the porterbuilt front end is nice but a little more pricey and you can pick it up from kp compnents. I think fatman fabrications make one too. I have bagged 3 of these trucks, and I always z'd the frame, less money, you just have to notch the drivers a arm and a steering shaft support, i used a heim joint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sully Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 just do a stock floor body drop and build a new frame from the engine mounts back that will fix the crossmember problem and drop you a couple more inches. If you have a fab shop and some skills you will only be out a few hundred dollars for the metal and a fuel cell.
