Brian told me that had to lift the back of the motor about 3*. They also integrated a drive shaft safety loop. Looks like I gained some ground clearance and lost a little weight too.

Looks good guys, I appreciate the photo updates and excellent customer service.


I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I made that crossmember such a way that you can run your exhaust above it on either side of the bend. Just a little thought to chew on for ya.

Yea I noticed that. Won't have to remove exhaust to pull the trans. I like that.

I wish you could make more of these. I'd be inline for one, its a total improvement over the stock one. Could you get more of them made if needed?

I have a file saved for the main cross-member, but we would need the truck here to actually build the trans. mount and DS safety loop.
