14. Locate the factory rear crossmember. Mark the crossmember

3 ½” from outside edge of the cam pocket adjustment hole

inward. On the top of the crossmember, locate the bottom

hole and measure down ¼”, draw a line strait across the top of

the crossmember and connect to the first line that is on the

back of the crossmember. On the bottom of the crossmember,

draw another line forward from the first line just beside the

weld for the control arm pocket. Take care to cut the

crossmember straight up and down and to not cut into the

control arm pocket itself or cut out the weld. You will use a

Sawzall or Die Grinder with a cutoff wheel to make these

cuts. Remove the rear crossmember section. Cut and discard.

SEE DIAGRAMS AND PHOTOS BELOW AND IN NEXT

COLUMN AND ON LAST PAGE

3 ½” from outside of cam

pocket to cut area

16. Locate FT70073 Weld in plate. You will need to weld in these
