IFS Crossmember?
My front IFS crossmember is tacked in place, but is now angled down about 2-1/2 degrees since I added my 4-bar (was level side to side & front to back before 4-bar). Should I cut it out and make level or is it ok?

Did it break the tacks loose, or just what happened to change it????? I don't understand how you have an IFS with a 4 bar???Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

When I tacked in the IFS I had leafs in the rear. I switched the leafs out & put a 4-bar in back. When I did this it gave me more of a rake.

Ok, gotcha now! Better get the IFS crossmember in level at ride height or it will mess up your anti-dive, alignment, and the rest of the geometry!!!! Or, can you lower your coilover mounts to get the original ride height back on the rear????Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Since it's just tacked in I'll cut it out & get it level. Thanks for the input.

That's the best solution, yes.
I probably tacked and cut loose mine 4-5 times before I was satisfied. It leveled during welding.
Take control measurments during your welding!

Since that center X is there to prevent twist of the main rails I believe it's plenty stout, Navy. If anyone wants to look, show them the second side as your example!!
