Default Should I be concerned??????

Posted this over on the C-3 forum also. Is this something I should be concerned about or is this normal?

When you say you removed the front crossmember, which one are you referring to?

When I lifted my body, I left intact the bumper, the radiator support, cross braces, everything. The only thing I unbolted were the two forward body mount bolts, which are directly under the rad. Although when I did lift it, the nose was by far the heaviest and it tilted heavily in that direction.

The crossmember that bolts to front frame extensions & the radiator support. I already removed the bumper & the brackets.
Thanks
