Does anyone know what the relative height of the transmission crossmember to the frame height? If you're looking at the truck from the side, at the cross section of the crossmember, how much higher is the crossmember mounting surface to the bottom of the frame?

Short story long. I'm redoing the front suspension on my SAS. Going with a 3 link and coilovers. I also need to make a new custom crossmember for the transmission. I don't trust my younger self when he built the first one. I think he built it too low. In order to check his work I need to know what the measurements SHOULD be. I've tried searching but looking for this kinda information only comes up with pinion angles and fluid levels. Any help in the right direction helps.

Thanks in advance!

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
There is no right way outside if keeping the powertrain where the fluids are good and level.....you have a custom application.....the higher the better...with lots of skid protection.
