    So went back out about 6am this morning and turned the wheel all the way to the passenger side. I don't know if that's what did it, or I was just too tired to get it done last night, but it came out with a little pushing and prodding. Got both axles out and brackets off, and now to make some measurements and cut/weld.

    Who has made their own front cross member, what amount did you remove and reinforce to make enough room for the lowered parts?

    Here is how I did mine:

    I forgot what size I used but I welded a C to the original crossmember to extend it. I put one bolt thru it.


    On the driver side I put the outer bolt thru the original hole.

    I had intentions of added all four bolts back but never did - just kept the two. Never had any issues come from it but it is sloppy work.
