frame and crossmember mounts

[Big Slim]

i am building my crossmember for the ZF and is a little strange that my numbers are off. the driver side of the crossmember is dropped 1 inch for clearance for the driveshaft. so if even i would see an inch difference in the vertical drop on the side pieces. once it is mocked up i am only getting 1/2 inch difference in the drop on each side. everything measures level. is the drivers side frame lower than the passenger side? that would explain why its a 1/2" off. i am assuming it was symmetrical. using the stock mounting holes.

Not according to my measurements.

ok. i didnt think so since the arms are right there and they are the same length. the stock components looked the same too. looks like a 1 degree off on a 23 inch piece will be about .4 inches off. so probably the way the trans jack is holding it is off a degree or so.
