Why won't it lay?!

Ok, so the sonoma I just picked up. It won't lay in the front. Standard cab, 4.3 v6, automatic. I got the 20's out of the way so the brake booster isn't a problem. I got spindles and ART strong arms already installed. Fixed a bag cup that didn't want to sit right. And i'm not yet touching the trans crossmember...which by the way...where can I get one, or do I have to build one? I'm like 1/8" inch off the trans x-member. I did notice the exhaust is touching where it cuts across to the right side. Could that be holding up the weight of the truck?

yes

ok, i was thinking it'd bend before it held up the truck. so what's the common way to fix this? is there another route for the exhaust, or am i able to raise it? i haven't got a good look under the vehicle yet.

i just took and flattened the part that runs across....and I also cut out 1" from each side right behind the donut gaskets...it tucks up above the frame real nice now...

ok, that's what i was hoping to do. thanks dude.

notta problem bro
