2x4 Crossmember

[DV8CUSTOMS]

I sold my crossmember so now I need to build a new one for myself. I figured I might as well build two and give someone the opportunity to buy the other one.

The crossmember will be just like this (material is 2x4x3/16)

No motor mounts and no mounting points for a R&P. The crossmember moves your lowers up 3" and moves them in about 1-1/2" per side. It is made to work with your factory cross shafts so you have to remove the cross shaft saddle from your stock crossmember and reuse them on this. All that requires you to do is grind the head off the rivet holding the perch on. Then that same rivet acts as a locator pin on the new crossmember.

It will come with the hardware to bolt it to the frame but you have to reuse your stock u-bolts for the control arms. The u-bolts can still be purchased from GM pretty cheap as well, I replaced mine and it saved some headache.

$400 shipped in the US.

Note that there is work to be done with this cross member. As you can see in the pics it eliminates the factory spring pocket so you have to add an upper bag mount to the side of your frame. That's not a big deal but I want to make sure no one overlooks that.

If you are not running a rack and pinion and you have factory lower control arms you will have interference with the pitman arm and lower control arm. Easy to fix, but again I want everyone to be aware. If you have a rack then that goes away completely and I expect it would with an aftermarket tube or flat plate arm.

Wow you do some nice fab work there DV8!! If I had a slammed truck I'd definitely pay for something like that. That's a nice piece

If it helps out I could also include brackets that allow you to relocate your upper arms as well as provide a mount for your airbag.

I would have to check on material cost to see what the increase would be though.

I have serious interest in this item - if you still have the other one or can fabricate one - is would be greatly appreciated
