Alright so who has their 203 rotated with their doubler setup? If so, how much? I'm trying to sell stuff so I can order my doubler and wondering what rotation I should go with. For ground clearance and functionality I'm thinking 203 upside down and 205 clocked up just a little. See I'm running a Chevy range box with a Ford 205, so flipping the 203 would put my shifter on the same side as the Ford shifters.

If you have a flipped 203, what did you do about your first crossmember mount? Since the adapter mount would be inside the cab the only thing I can think is to run a mount off of the transmissions provision for a mount(the 2wd setup). Anyone tried this? My thought is maybe a rubber mount there and poly mounts back at the doubler adapter. Try and have a little give at the trans case.

Input is appreciated.

I made a custom crossmember for the 203 and 205. It's all tucked up just above the frame rails. Sorry no pics. If you remember estaban's (sp) crossmember, it was my insperation.

Such a nice looking piece! I like it more every time I see it. Want to trade! :haha:

Oh, what hours are you at work.......
 
beacuse this is an S10 and I think I would be left with little room between the frame rails running it like that.
