1. Start by supporting the car on 4 jack stands. The car should be sitting on approximately the same angle as it does on the ground, or slightly lower in front. (If you are using a new pair of boxed frame rails, you can skip to step 5.)
2. Remove all the old front suspension components. We would recommend that at this point, you tack weld or clamp a temporary brace across the frame rails in front of the old crossmember as shown in Figure 1. This helps to maintain the rail dimension after the old crossmember is removed. Lastly, remove the old crossmember by drilling out the rivets.
