pancaked crossmember with stepped control arms?

[losthope]

was just wondering if any one has pancaked a crossmember and also stepped there lower control arms?

just picked up a complete crossmember with all the front suspension , and planning on doing a 1 1/2" step notch on my lower control arms to get lower in the front,im going to use the donor lower control ball joint area and weld them on my existing lower control arms kinda like a raised ball joint stand....

right know i have bolt in bag plates and cup/stands, but it is not low enough for me.....

figured i step notch the control arms and see how low the truck will sit and if i still want to go lower i also have the donor crossmember i can pancake 1" to 1 1/2"....

I know the lower control arms will hang down more, whatever the height i step notch them and the upper ball joints will be at a different angle, but was wondering if there might be any other issue's that might arise if i also pancaked the crossmember besides the steering pitman arm??

can it be done?anyone done both? any advise? or links to build threads or pictures of trucks with this done? couldnt find anything using the search function....

thanks in advance!
