Found my front height issue!

My front doesn't lay on my white truck and I have been beating myself up trying to find my mistake.
How I diagnosed: drove all 4 tires onto 1x4 boards in my garage. Then put boards under frame where it lays in the back and a small piece under engine sled.

It laid. Finally!

So that means I'm "see-sawing" somewhere in between those two points on the frame. I already modded the tranny member during the build. Don't have access to a jack or lift for a few days. What could it be? I'm guessing either the ypipe or the Xmember. Anyone else ran into this?

new build is going to be sweet!!! the white one was well built so im sure the crew will be even better.

on the not laying issue i bet it has something to do with the trans xmember. you said you did the trans xmember mod but what exactly did you do? there is the small triangle plate you remove and put new bolts in that go into the frame so nothing hangs down but also on the passenger side it dips down i think about 1/2" that needs sectioned.

My std cab does the same shit, but I thought it was because of the dehumped lowers and lower bag cups? I had trimmed my upper and lwoer bag cups because mine wouldnt lay out all the way. Im closer now but still a little far away, but I chalked it up to LCA and not enough off of the upper bag cup, and still having lower bag cups too. I know you dont have the LCA problems I do but what about your upper bag cup?
