Building Chassis For Our 1967 Chevy C10 Ifs Crossmember

2. Construction began by clamping the Scott's front IFS crossmember 1/4-inch off our frame table. This would keep the crossmember and the engine oil pan off the ground when the suspension was cycled upward. We knew going into this project that we'd be running a 30-inch-tall tire and that the front suspension offered 8 inches of travel. We'll need to make some modifications to the upper control arms to gain enough suspension travel for that diameter tire, but we'll get to that later on.
