Sold out
$885.00
SKU TSGK11-6L90
Description:

This torsion bar carriage and transmission/t-case cross-member is designed for use in 2500 + 3500 series Chevy Express and GMC Savana vans to both support the transmission and transfer case, as well as provide a home for torsion keys and locks. 

This bolt-up design drops right in place of the factory van cross-member holes and requires drilling a rear support hole through the frame of the vehicle for each rear support, as well as installation of a frame crush sleeve (welding recommended).

This system is designed for use with OEM-style torsion bars, keys, and lower control arms as well as our transmission adapter assembly and a factory truck trans mount. It will work for custom builds, but it is designed to integrate with the remainder of the Timberline lower carriage system for IFS GM 4x4 van conversions. 

NOTE: This carriage will interface with other popular brands of 4x4 conversions. We offer variants for the 6L90, the 8L90 and the 4L80, as well as a version with 1.5" additional drop for vans, lifted 4" or more.
