ya my angles arnt that bad. what aftermarket arm are you running? I just have factory replacements with replaceable BJs.

and whats everyone running shock wise? Lightningexpo your runnin fox 2.0s right? or was that gatercrew?

 

I'm running the doestch replacement arms. A lot beefier than stock, its round tubing probably about 1 1/2 thick. The ball joints bolt in so its easy replacement. I've got the fabtech shocks, hopefully I replace them sometime its just not on the list. Gatorcrew has kings or fox shocks I can't remember.

 

ok thanks. I will PM you when I go to 4WP on sat and let you know what I get. hopefully theyll have a sale of somesort on some bilstein 5100s

 

are these the arms you have http://www.ebay.com/itm/Upper-Lift-C...item1c0d7e9351

if not do you know if those would work ok with the fabtech spindles. I need to get them bad. My camber sucks and my eccentric cam bolts are as far forward as they will go

 

Yes, those are the ones he has as well as myself. They will work with the fabtech.

 

so those arms, what all do they allow you to do just have a bigger spring? please explain. I know you can do their 2.5in lift coil with em..

 

You can go upto 3'' more with those arms. weather it be 3'' longer spring or 3'' coil spacer. And be able to get the camber within spec and not have the ball joint angle screwed up.

Are you planning on putting a spacer on top of your 7.5? Cuz if not you dont even need those arms you can get plenty of adjustment with your cam bolts that came in your kit

 

Thanks dood. Ill be asking santa for them. Im going to try to make them the only thing on my list. So the elfs are focused on getting that one thing made in the shop. I guess sringtech will mail them the specs on how to make them? Im hoping they will be the same quality as the springtechs

 

Basically they allow you to run a bigger spacer or coil and be able to acheive the proper camber specs. Plus they give you the ability to make future ball joint changes a breeze as well as greasable bushings. Plus you can run a ball joint spacer for added lift. They are also alot stronger than the factory arms, plus they look cooler.

 

Ball joint spacer? never heard of that. but sounds awesome. im looking to get another few inches and these arms are looking better and better. Whats the ball joint spacer all about? And how many inches could be achieved?

 

I already have a spacer but I dont think anyone makes a 3in spacer....yes? and this lift has been fun but in Janurary I will be moving up to long travel. I dont use this lift to its full potential and jumping it just didnt seem like a good idea. so longer arms, uniballs, coilovers with cantilevers and deavers in the rear will be a good set up to go out and play.

 

Good luck getting a 3 inch spacer in there. I wouldn't go bigger than a 2 inch. My camber is straight up with them but I also ran my 2 inch spacer on factory control arms and the angles werent that bad. I'm pretty sure your going to have trouble getting your alignment right with a 3 inch. Because I work at a shop and it took me a pretty good amount of time to get my camber and caster where I wanted it.

 

mine is a little off, but the wheels roll straight..it will "wander" a lil on the highway but i think thats mostly my pitman and idler needing replaced. Im not gonna do anything else since ill get gettin a long travel kit that will come with new arms (lower and upper) extended tie rods, spindle, and ill be cutting off the coil bucket and throwing on a shock hoop with a coilover and limiting straps. ill also be adding a cross bar over the engine so jumping it wont crush it. for sure an upgrade from the fabtech kit. does anyone even make a 3in spacer?

 

daystar makes 3 inchers. talk about a stiff ride that would be.

 

wow you sound like your getting into the serious off roading. nice!
