2 door tahoe flip kit.. what to do with crossmember above rearend

[maroon88iroc]

Ok so I am doing the flip kit on my 1996 tahoe 2 door 2 wheel drive and there is a very large crossemember that runs frame rail to frame rail right above the axle where the C-notch will go. What is everyone doing with this crossmember??

I can see that it has 2 body mounts on it and it is attached to the top and bottom of each frame rail. It looks like I will need to cut a good portion of it out.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I can get pics tonight!

thanks,

you can notch into it. Ive installed both belltech and djm ones. The djm just rests on outside of frame while belltechs wrap more.

I had to notch mine on my old 2-Door. Check my Sig picture for how the ride height turned out on 22's
