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!

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
