| | | G30 crossmember swap | Joined: Aug 2018 Posts: 146 member | OP member Joined: Aug 2018 Posts: 146 | Hi I'm going to be lifting my van, from what I've gathered the "best" way would be to swap to g30 lower arms, but I've also read they do not fit the g20 crossmember well. What all is involved with swapping the crossmember so I can use g30 lca's without cutting and welding? I could figure it out easily if I wasn't paraplegic and could crawl around like I used to or if I had a lift, which unfortunately I do not. I will need to be able to explain what's involved to the friends I will have helping me. Thank you in advance. I'm excited to start getting my parts together since I'm doing the title work on my new to me g20 next week.

Did you try typing in g30 crossmember or crossmember swap? Maybe your device is more advanced than mine? I'm not looking to lower or convert to 4x4 Just saying....

I found these threads searching "chevy crossmember." There is good info to be gleaned in each thread. https://www.vanning.com/threads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/683133/Searchpage/1/Main/40436/Words/%2Bchevy+%2Bcrossmember/Search/true/re-how-to-remove-a-chevy-van-engine-made-simple#Post683133 https://www.vanning.com/threads/ubbthreads.php/topics/381231/3Sounds llike it is just disconnect the hydraulic lines for the brakes andsteering, disconnect the steering linkage, and unbolt the frame. Good luck!
