I have 2 crossmembers to choose from.
I would like to know 2 things.
Are LC & LJ suspension crossmembers different.
And what is the difference.
Also one of the crossmembers has extra holes drilled about 1" down for the top control arms.
Are the top control arms the same whether the top or bottom holes are used?
If not can someone tell me the difference.
Thanks, John.

As far as I know LC/LJ cross members are the same. The cross member with the extra holes should be from an XU-1, use the lower holes when mounting the upper control arms, plus longer bolts & extra spacers to correct the wheel alignment. The control arms are the same.

The only difference I found was that lc's have 2 brackets for the brake lines & lj have 1 bracket at the front of the crossmember.

Thanks for that gtrboyy,

They may either be 2 LCs or 2 LJs or one of each.
I'll have look at them.

What I should have said is that there are 2 brackets for the brake line & block on the driver's side for lc's & only 1 bracket for lj's.I hope it makes a bit more sense lol.
