Truck Crossmember Kit installation for Chevrolet Pick-up
1. Start by supporting the truck on 4 jack stands. The truck should be sitting at approximately the same angle as it does on the ground or slightly lower in front.
2. Remove all the old suspension components from the frame. The front spring shackle mounts riveted in the frame are used for a measuring point. The top of the frame rail should also be flattened in the area where it is turned up for the old steering box mount.
3. The radiator support crossmember will need to be modified next. Figure 1 shows the rear section that will need to be removed to provide clearance for the rack and pinion. The front section of the crossmember re- mains in place to support the radiator.

1. Raise truck to a comfortable working height and support safely with jackstands under the frame. Place these stands ahead of the leafspring mount and at the rear of the frame to support it when the C notch is installed.
2. The C notch frame section will be installed first. Note that the front edge of the C notch is butted up to the round tube crossmember. Place the C notch against the framerail to scribe the outline for cutting the framerail. Be sure to “round” the corners of the cut to avoid any stress points This is the layout for cutting the frame for the C notch. Using a 1/2” drill to make the corners produces a rounded corner which is much less susceptible to a stress crack.
