Twizted Product Release: High Clearance Engine Crossmember w/Optional Track Bar Mount

just out of curiosity do you make something to go along w/ this for a mount on the bottom side?

+1 I am interested in both the x-member along with the axle mount.

Yes, I sure do! For both the D60 and the D44. I have an axle-side weld-on mount that welds on between the inner C and the leaf spring on the passenger side. I also sell this in "kit" form that includes the crossmember, the axle mount, some tubing with joints and weld-in threaded adapters so that you can cut it to length, weld it together and go! Price on the full kit with everything is $325 to CK5 members.

I looked through the pictures for one showing the mount and couldn't find any. Could you post up a picture of the weld on mount and also what brand joints come with the kit?
 
i just bought one of the engine ones what about making a better t-case w-skide plate cross member too?
 
i would like the tcase crossmember as well i have one made for my 465/ord doubler but it could be improved!!

The joints I use are the Currie Enterprises Johnny Joints. I haven't been able to find anything better for the price! Not only are they rebuildable (although I never have to rebuild them!) but they are tighter, quieter, and last much, much longer than a heim joint.

Here are some pics for ya...

Yes, we have a mount that welds to the axle for the passenger's side right now, designed for a Dana60. It places the track bar joint just above the u-bolt plate and forward of the axle tube centerline just a bit to align it with most crossover setups and also clear the bumpstop during up-travel of the suspension.


Yep, the Dana60 Axle-Side Weld-On mount is designed, the GM 10-bolt and Dana44 is coming in the near future (just need a bit of time to re-design the D60 mount to fit the D44 properly). Also, the track bar itself is available in WIY (Weld-It-Yourself) kit form as two joints, two jamnuts, two tube adapters, and a length of tube -or- I would be willing to pre-fabricate them for you once you have the crossmember in place and I get a length measurement. Of course if you are welding the axle tube mount, then welding up the track bar itself shouldn't be a problem either. That being said, I have another question to pose to everyone....

How many of you have welders or access to welders in your garages? A lot of the upcoming products I have in mind are tailored to the home DIY'er that can weld. I have a feeling that many of you would prefer a simple product that you could weld on easily over a complicated bolt-on system that requires holes to be drilled and tons of bolts to be tightened?? I know from installing TONS of lift kits and things at my shop that I certainly perfer it that way... Of course with the Chevy Frames being as brittle as they are, certain things will always have to be bolted (like this crossmemer). Curently the question comes from the axle-side bracketry... A simple weld-on bracket is going to be much less expensive (and stronger if welded properly) than a complicated bolt-on setup. How many of you would prefer the bolt-on? Is it worth the design time to even make one up? Post some thoughts for me!

Thanks,
Darren

I vote for a bolt on (pass side spring plate) for a dana 60
 
TnA!!!

Hey Guys, new crossmembers and trackbars will be forthcoming soon!!! New business is formed, and I'm starting to take orders on a limited basis now :) Sorry it took so long, I ran into all kinds of issues getting going again, but I'm nearly back 100%!!!!! Now if I can only get heat & insulation in the shop for the winter... Lol ;)
