You wont lose anything at the crossmember but needless to say your TC will hang down an inch lower. That was my initial concern with it.

You could always just get a TC skid from JCR if you don't want to make one yourself.

That skid looks pretty tough, but I'm not running the factory crossmember, so I dont think it would work for my application. Appreciate the input either way, thanks!

So, is everyone ready for tomorrow?

Of course, I've got to work all day today so tonight I'll be topping off fluids, cleaning her up, packing the cooler, getting wood, etc.

What last minute things are you guys doing?

Might be a silly question, but did you get it aligned after?

So if your doing 50mph it won't start shaking tell you hit a bump or does it do it almost the whole time?
1st- X2 on the alignment?
2nd- Do you have a TC drop?
3nd- Is your BB a block or shackle in the rear?
