maybe its a bad batch of balljoints?

I have my doubts as they are at the limits of their travel.

hrm... the stock yota balljoints was what i used on my mazda, and they layed hard as fuk on 19s, and coulda lifted more than what my truck did. so maybe the balljoint they were usin wasnt good? my arms were 7/8" shorter than the stock arms.

well the more we shimmed it the closer to the ground the frame got.so thats why i believe the balljoint is binding up well it has to be. maybe there to long like someone said? did u guys have to use a bunch of washers on the ball joints so that the castle nut wasnt below the cotter pin holes? the shafts on my ball joints where crazy long we hadda use a bunch of washers to make sure the caslte nut was up far on the threads so that we can use a cotter pin i doubt this matters tho. i tlakd to matt today he wants some pics so ill send them a few and see what they can do for me. im hoping they can swap mine out or soemthing????
what do u guys think? are the arms too short or too long?

My toyota lays perfect on 18's, and right now we put 20's on the front, and it still lays out great. my 18's are 215/35's and the 20's were 245/35's. I am taking the 20's back off, we were just test fitting.

I had to stack a couple washers on my balljoints so the castle nut would sit right. I have zero shims between the control arm mount and the crossshaft.

what the shimmin is doing is adding camber, which is taking the angle out of the balljoint.
