Options after the dreaded drop bracket...

Hey all,

So the truck I bought came with a Fabtech stage 1 6" lift. Now as I am aware this is a drop bracket lift and they had to cut the cross member to put the lift on.

My question is what options are there available after you have already had a drop bracket lift done?? If I want to go with say a coil over setup or a different type of lift all together. Is there anything that is already offered for the cross member or has anyone fabbed their own fix to this issue??

Thanks in advance, and as always pics are more than welcome!!

Nothing...huh??

 

Check out noford's build. He went from a DB lift to a 3" lift. It is possible to weld the crossmember back in

Try finding a cross member off a wreck? That's what I would do.

 

Well the dealer I bought it from is the one who installed it, I wonder if I can just ask them if I can get the cross member back....I was more worried about what would happen to the structural integrity of the truck after such a lift was done?? Maybe it would actually make it stronger being a personal weld.
