So, I want to drop my cradle .75"-1" to reduce some perceived stress from my 4" lift. I can't find a definitive "how-to" on doing this, but it looks pretty straight forward.
I'm planning on using three to four ~1.5" wide x .25" thick steel bars stacked up to the total height. I'm assuming the bottom face of the frame is flat from the front bolt to the rear bolt, so the bars can be solid (without cuts or bends) from front to back... is that correct? Is that how other people have done it?
I think I read somewhere that, as far as under the hood goes, all that needs to be done is loosen the hose clamps so the hoses don't crimp when the engine is lowered, are there any other concerns?
I do realize that the T-case needs to be lowered by the same amount, but I already know how to deal with that.
Any tips or bits of advice are welcome! Thanks!
