Re: Snip snip
I did something like that with my upper shock mount. I was thinking you might want to put a gusset on that?? Maybe not....
Do you have any bolts going through the crossmember into the side rail? I've been thinking (I'll have to wait until I get my frame back) that maybe I can make a bracket for those holes that stick up past the top of the frame to connect that part of the crossmember to the top of the frame. |

Re: Snip snip
Where did you get bolts through the side of the frame? Have any pics?

Re: Snip snip
Just below where the cross shafts mount, there are 2 holes in that bracket, with bolts going through and getting nutted from the inside of the frame channel. It's pretty much impossible to get a pic of them without pulling off the wheel .

Re: Snip snip
Hmm, I'll have to check that area again when I get my frame back. I thought there wasn't any flat areas there to put bolts.

Re: Snip snip
I don't have any front sheet metal on mine (or wheels for that matter). I'll try & get a couple of pics before I remove my notched crossmember for something else .

Re: Snip snip
It will take a big stocking to shove a DROPMEMBER in won't it.
