Im trying to install my home brew TC drop kit and i cant get the holes on the cross member to align with the holes on the frame. Any ideas?

 

I had to take off my cross member when I did my trans filter and trans oil change. I had to leave the nuts loose on the transmission mount and have my brother pry the crossmember while I lined up the holes. Hope this helps.

 

I guess my problem is that im trying to do it by myself. Looks like i have to wait for my roomate to get home lol

 

lol yeah thats probably your best bet. I was trying to do it myself at first. a couple slips of the pry bar and a few bloody knuckles later i gave my bro a call and made his lazy ***** come help me. Somebody else might have a way to do it with one person but I like to work smarter not harder.

 

ratchet strap. i strapped mine to the rear axle and tightened it to pull.

 

I did it by myself with a floor jack and prybars. It just took a little patience.

 

How did yall do it? Did yall install the bolts on one side and then pry the other side into position?

 

Exactly. I did one side at a time. I loosend the motor mount, and the transmission mount on the crossmember. I fought it for a while and then I just pulled on it right and it was much easier after that. Keep things loose until you have everybolt in and it will make it easier.

 

Wish I had thought of that!

 

Thats how I did mine. Put one side in then pull the other side over. I think I put my pass. side in the pulled my drivers side. Jacks will help also
