Pancakes!! Yumm! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok. Now that I have your attention. Who is currently sectioning or "pancaking" front crossmembers? I want one sectioned about 1.5" and for reasons beyond my control at the moment I can't do it myself. Sorry for lurring you in with tasty breakfast foods but I need a quick answer. 😎😈

Got it ready to go.

**biketopia** · 10-13-2015, 07:40 AM

just curious, whats the purpose of this? Is it the same principle as a drop member?

BMERDOC · 10-13-2015, 09:34 AM

Yeah. Kinda the same thing. Lowers the front a little more while raising the pivots of the lower control arms. It helps with some of the angles of the front suspension too.

before you install it if you have access to a stock one you should take comparison pics

BMERDOC · 10-13-2015, 11:22 AM

What comparison pics would you like? Of the crossmember? The truck is already up in the air with the suspension off.

I'm curious too of what a stock one looks like next to the modified piece to understand where it was modified.

Dell72, if you look at Pat's pics in post #5 you'll see the section that was taken out. You'll also notice the 1.5" section that had to be filled. 1.5" is a good amount of sectioning because you don't have to move all the steering gear up on the frame to match.
