Re: Center crossmember

I’m only asking because the mounts for The trailing arm are upside down for the pinion angle

The theory is the repositioned mounts for the trailing arms make the pinion angle better on lowered trucks.

Nope. One thing I learned during installation is do not put jack stands anywhere near the crossmember. They will deflect the frame enough to make it very difficult to slide crossmember out or get the new one to lineup with the mounting holes. Also unless you have the cab off getting the top rear rivets out is a *****.
