Well.. I sectioned out a half inch strip of the frame just above the tranny cross member, lifted the section and boxed it in.. now it lays frame completely. But, the leaf spring perch hits the bed floor!!! LMAO!!! It just does stop the rear from layen out, or... well... It did Since the floor is gone in that area, and its just the beds lower lip.. AND im raising the floor any how.. hehehe I just slammed the bish down really fast a few times. No more problem I need a new Y pipe since its kinda D shaped from being static and butchered up pretty bad.. Its been beat so bad it dont hang below the frame any, it actually just does touch the street when layed out.. I lowered it slow as hell to make sure its not being pushed up any. So for now, im good to lay

what you mean when you say sectioned the crossmember? all i did was add plate to the side but aint put it in yet, now you got me worried

Thanks And yeah, my crossmember is very wide and shaped very weird. Everyone adds a plate to theres and bolt it into the side. I just raised mine a half inch to clear the bolt heads and help raise the exhaust some.
