thanks man, i am absolutely in love with the look of it. and yup 3" body lift. shes about an inch lower on the front because theres a couple hundred pound of steel and winch hangin off the front of her. the weight on the front deffinetly made a noticeable difference in height, before the rear was a bit lower but now shes pretty dead on level (sagged rear leafs)

Planning and creating visuals will help make the final project closer to what you want, and help you think of problems that may arise before you cut and weld which saves on materials, time and money.

IF you go with that setup it would be easy to tie the xmember to the radius arm mounts on the part that hangs just below the frame.

take a look at plumcrazys setup, I believe he built it that way. I did similar and it has worked out well.
