I know i should have searched, but some people might be thinking the same as i am....
How do you fix the Tie rod hitting the strut bar problem? Is there a way besides new A arms?
Well by getting 2 prebent 45 or 90 pieces of tubing, some bushing ends and making 4 tabs you can make an a-arm out of yours and ditch the strut bar. Seth did this and posted his pics before.
have you removed your sway bar??
the trucks layin out now right on the cross member. Is that what they called layed out?
Yeah the cross member hangs below the frame. You can cut a 1/2" off the bottom of it and the frame will lay, or just drag it. Or Z the frame if you want.
If something is on the ground, it can't go lower.
i dont think that i would just drag it off. i tried that with mine, now if you look at my crossmenber the bolts are also drug off. if you can you need to find a way to get it moved up and braced back. i am goin to have to rebuild mine if you want i can get you a pic to show you what it will look like if you just drag it off.
