i've got my frame on the frame table right now and that x-member hardly hangs low, im not sure what im gonna do with it yet, but might just drag thru it when it comes time.

easiest way is to just drag thru it its like less than 1/4" from fram hitting if u lay it out on its nuts it shouldnt take no more than a 1 min drag

if you continue to drag the front with out laying out the back you'll drag right through the bolts holding the front crossmember in place or worse your lower control arm bolts

I just dragged mine till the frame hit tonight was a wonderfull night it has been
dragged down a road that is known to have undercover 50 and nothing happened
dragged my front crossmember behind the publix by my house and picked up 2 reflectors and now my truck lays flat frame
WOOT WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol, so if i lay out the whole truck and drag for a while it will let me lay my truck out flat, but if i drag just the front end it could possibly fuck me in the ass? lol

you are correct sir
ill look for the profile on ssm but this guy dragged through 90% of the bolts and half his lower control arms. its pritty scary yet cool to see.
