I talked with a rep at Heidts once. He was of the opinion you could not do this conversion on a factory cross-member. However searching the internet the LCA was originally built for the factory setup. Go figure, so many aftermarket kits. Some in sales don't even know the evolution of the MII front end. The spacers you have probably fit a specific cross-member. They more than likely are not all the same width. Does Jegs sell the X member also?

I bought a MII kit new/used for $225.00. Never installed it yet, I do not know who made it. I got the UCA, LCA, coilover and spring. The LCA has the coilover mount app. 1" above the LCA centerline. I may need to redo and lower the shock mount. Also the LCA has a plate welded into the center for strength. I would need to punch a hole thru for the coilover. Plus I think I could punch a few more thru for weight removal. I have seen enough made without this plate.

The pdf file shows a factory style spring, is this what you have?
