On my truck, the small cylindrical spacers have been placed between the frame and the crossmember itself, I'm assuming due to the lift. I've read a few times on here that doing that can cause frame cracks around the spacers, I'm assuming due to the load being placed on a much smaller surface area than if the crossmember was actually touching the frame.
However, before I find a local fabricator to make me two chunks of rectangular metal to replace those sleeves, are there any other ways, or more accepted methods, to drop the crossmember?
