cant lay

ok from what the pic is showing you should run ur upper mount higher and more of an angle typically normally around 15 degrees mounted up for when compressed the bad is evenlly compressed. normally if u run ur upper mount starting at the top of ur frame rail u can lay 18's with a 215 35 18 inch tire, with stock arms you also on the front upper arm, the upper ball joint on top of the arm rather than under the arm for better ball joint angleany other q's hit me up or email me at factoryeffex224@aol.com i can get pics but my yota's one has tube upper mounts that go through the frame and the other dosent have a stock front clip, but may give u a general ideal

ok so do I move the top or lower ball joints to the other side or do I do both? 1 person says top other says bottom.

BUMP

bump again

do i flip the top or botom ball joint or both?

damn, your shoving a 2600 in the front, thats where a few of your probs are comming from. if you use a 2500 in the front, angle your bracket at the same angle your control arm is, and trim and streghten (sp) your upper a arms up, you'll lock your ball joints up in the front, mine lifts a inch taller then stock. lays crossmember hard with all stock suspension, and i have 215 70 r14's too. so looking at your pics, you might have to move your front mounts up a little, and keep them at the same angle as your control arm all the way around, looks good tho

I was told they are 2500 pound how do I tell the diference and still. Do i flip the top and the bottom ball joints? or either or!!

You are probably going to have to Z the frame in the front thats what im gonna do to my 79 yota..........

yea, those are some 2600's, 2500's arnt as wide, so you'd be able to get the bag further in. and ill tell you right now, your control arm is nowear near all the way up, both my yotas, my 87 and 94 are at a nice angle when layed out. so if your arm isnt goin up any higher, you need to find out were its binding, or bottoming out, thats your problem right there. you shouldnt have to flip your ball joints, but if you did it would be your bottom ones. so the main thing you need to figure out is why your contol arm isnt goin up any higher. you have the torshions all the way out right? and you have the shocks out? maybe when you cut the middle bumpstop mount off, you didnt trim it even with the frame all the way down, so its hitting there. anyways, keep us posted

so I have 1 vote on teh lower ball joint any other takers?

Oh yah I got it to work now
