    good video. A must for lowered w-bodies. It does help to take the dog bones off to get those engine and trans mount spacers.

      If you are lowering the cradle, and then raising the engine and trans, won't that put the engine in the exact same spot as before?

      @@nickle549 no because the cradle spacers are near half the thickness of the trans/engine mount spacers. I have problems with hood clearance so it's something I'm trying

    Wouldnt using both the cradle spacers to drop cradle and the mount spacers to raise engine put the axle alignment back to what it was before you started. Except for raising the front of the car by looks like 1/4 to 3/8" ?

      The cradle spacers are exactly half the width of the mount spacers and I'm also having hood clearance problems as well. So as soon as I solve that issue I'll be getting rid of the cradle spacers

    Actually cradle spacers dont lower the cradle they raise the body so would raise your center of gravity not lower it

    More quality products from zzp lol. I’ve had issues with at least 65% of the parts I’ve bought from them. Really wish they’d do better for the 3800 guys. Can’t even line up freaking bolt holes?!?! Lmao

    A throttle body turn down adapter would’ve saved you from cutting that hood.
