I'm thinking about lowering my Explorer down a few inches. I want to run some super soft springs plus get my COG lower. The only problem I'm seeing is the engine crossmember. Have any of you cut the x-member out? I was thinking of cutting the bottom off and running a piece of 1/2" directly across the bottom of the oil pan.
I will limit my uptravel to approx. 3" and let it have all the droop it wants. Gonna be running air bumps to control the travel. I plan to take out quite a chunk of sheetmetal. I will be installing the 4-link rear in the spring so I want to get all of this done soon. The engine crossmember is the only thing holding me back right now. Just wanted to see what others had done.
