Definately would use it -it will be a little lower but that all depends on your mounting bracket arrangement--meaning you can weld some angle on top of the crossmember and use rubber tire tread sandwitched imbetween isolating where it bolts up--or you can channel down into the CM for more drop. (I dont intend to weld mine to the frame-but some do that too). Im working on my COE right now so it will be a little while before I post my pics of my installation, lack of funds too, I supply 34-38 GMC stuff to builders so tell your friends about me.

Got plenty of those here in Califas... All I needed was an expert opinion and an excuse to head down to the wrecking yards.. Gratzie!
