    They wouldn't warranty the crossmember?

    So I recalled SL last monday and talked to one of their head guys and told him what happened. He was not happy about the situation so he rushed me a new front crossmember and it showed up yesterday. So once I get new front lca's it will be going in! Hopefully this fixes my leaning problem.

    Glad to hear that!!

    Does the new front crossmember look stronger? I recall one of the other guys getting a replacement and said it was definitely better built

    Can you measure how tall the stock bumper support is? The pieces that are still there after you cut. Thanks!

    I think it will be fine. I have them set to 1.5" with OEM springs right now.
