Starting to get things tacked in. As you can see I had to move the center drive mount up in the frame to help me get the right angle on the truck arms I still had to run a 1 inch lowering block bumpstops modified and bolted in Sent from my SM-G935V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

Wheres the drive shaft gonna sit? Under the indention in cross member or over it? If over, It looks like the indention side should have been facing up, Im asuming your cutting the floor out for the high riding trailing arms to gain just a little more drop? You obviously know more about this than I do, Im just trying to learn something here.
Yes the driveline clears its above the crossmember . The crossmember is close to the output shaft so it would have to move alot before it interferes it was definitely a concern. I'm using the indention to run the exhaust Sent from my SM-G935V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
The cuts I made in the floorboard that are the furthest back were unnecessary there are cuts closer to the mounting bracket for the arms that's all that really needed to be cut for the area and of course the tunnel need to be cut. Here you can see why I flipped over the crossmember you can see that the mounting tabs for the arms are offset. I set them up as high as I could so that I could get the right angle on the arms at ride height I still had to use a 1inch lowering block to get it with in the recommended angle. It took a few days to get it all figured out but next time will be faster. Sent from my SM-G935V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

The A arm gets welded to the table we used a 7 inch ring we wanted to keep a good clearance around the 6 inch slam bag Sent from my SM-G935V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Here's one all finished up we had to knotch the rear edge of the arm it was hiting the frame mount. Finished off the pocket edge with the flat plate just to clean it up. All the fabrication and welding is done by my friend Chris (mercury_chris on Instagram) he has amazing skills and I'm so lucky to have his time and help on this project. If your wondering. Yes he did the beautiful chop on the merc in the background. Also did the wing windows they turned out nice as well as the garnish moldings. Sent from my SM-G935V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
