The best T56 crossmember
Since Skulte no longer is in business and their Fbody crossmember is hard to find, how is the Spohn crossmember? I hear they hang down lower than the Skulte, does anyone have experience with Spohn and a T56 retro into Fbody?

If the hawks one had a loop and TQ arm relocation I'd be all over it! I didn't even know that one existed actually.

Yup.. I already had a loop, and I had to put a relocation mount on my SPD Xmem also..
