You know it! Although couldn’t get leather in this package.

 

It would have to be white…

 

That's racist

As long as it's not blue or orange, we're good

Wow that beefy new cross member would really tighten up the frame.

 

Could probably build links off of it in the future to

 

Quick question, where are you guys buying your SPC upper BJ and bushings?

 

Happy Father’s Day!

For bushings, do you have the older style SPC arms with urethane bushings or the newer style with "Xaxis" flex joints (which wear out after a year or so)?

 

SPC arms were purchased 8 years ago so I assume urethane bushings.

 

Replacement urethane bushings were discontinued a couple of years ago. However, SPC offers retrofittable Xaxis flex joints. These wear out in about a year with normal use:

Give the replacement ball joints and bushings add up to $550, I suggest giving the CarTrimHome billet adjustable UCA a try. These permit in-situ adjustment without needing to lift up the truck by the frame:

We are the Real OGs.

Go to Sumin and get this done for probably cheaper.

 

Internet.

 

The price for the cross member delete is fair enough, I suppose, it's the inability to run any other skid plate that makes it kind of inconvenient and expensive. Not to mention the permanence of cutting. Exhaust reroute is baby stuff.

 

Not a terrible price for a set of 38s

 

You underestimate what the kit does. It cuts out the OEM crossmember under the transmission and replaces it with one more flush with the frame. Look at how far down the OEM crossmember hangs:
