thats a pretty neat kit. still curious as to how he reworked that crossmember. looks like he just chopped it off completely to make room for the drag link.

It doesnt effect the crossmember. You use a drop pitman arm.

i thought the steering box/idler arm and then tie rods ran through a crossmember...

steering box bolts go through the frame above the x-member and the idler arm is bolted to a bump out on the pass side. both could be leisurely alone. stethering linage behind said x-member.
