spacing crossmember down

[joeboomer999]

when you guys are spacing your crossmember 3/8" down, are you spacing both front and back? or just one side?

I spaced both front and rear of the cross member down as well as the passenger side mount bracket (because I didn't build any drop in when I modified the bracket). Engine not moved forward in this automatic swap.

Yeah mine either. No room to move forward it seems.

Why thank ya. Is there enough threads to use the original bolts? Or are longer substitutes needed?

I dropped the front and back of mine a bit more than an inch with chunks of square tube. There is no question you need longer bolts.

Did you relocate the sway bar?

Did you relocate the sway bar?

In a way. I switched to an Aspire sway bar, which has a kink in it to pass over the cross member and back down again.

Up to about 3/8" spacers the stock bolts have worked fine for me. I've done both ends or just one end depending on the engine/mounts.
