If you are dumping your C10 in the weeds, ground clearance and driveline angles become problematic. This crossmember addresses both issues. It features exhaust ports, that will accept up to 3-inch diameter exhaust pipe, so the exhaust can be routed between the frame rails instead of below. The trailing arm brackets allow pivot points to be adjusted and correct pinion angles at ride height. This crossmember bolts-in at top and side of frame, rather than using bolts at bottom of frame. Also, the raised center section design helps to eliminate drive shaft and crossmember interference when running your lowered stance. Factory carrier bearing mounts will need to be re-used from stock crossmember.
