Z notched the from crossmember up 3 inches. If you dont know what that means… basicly you raise the front crossmember/motor mounts and front suspension mounts up 3 inches. That allows the center of the frame to lay out when the bags are empty, and gives the front crossmember & oil pan 1.5" or so clearance. it also drops the front suspension 3 more inches without changing the geometry or needing a new spindle. That was all re-welded and gusseted up, then 1/4" thick scab plate added on the side for a little reasurance strength. > > We got the 2 rear side frame rails completed too. 2X4 box 3/16’s wall. **Ended up that the original fram was tweaked more than we though under the car, so its new frame rails from the trans crossmember back.** Tonight those will be welded in perm. The front suspension will be mocked back in place tonight after the arms get media blasted & cleaned. > > Pics will be updated tonight or tomorrow on that progress. Going through the pics and wasn’t reading the thread and I was like OH FUCK MAN HIS FRAME IS BENT TO SHIT. Glad to see I wasn’t the only one to pick up on it ahahaha. Thing was fucking tweaked. Looks like good work!!! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/dragndoors-1998-ranger/251441)._
