Well since you asked for comments and stuff I figure i would. On the upper is that screw adjusting thing going to strong enough? Since you did that isnt going to not take all weight? I could be wrong but that what im wondering about.
The plate is sandwiched by the upper balljoint, and the nut on back just allows for sliding in and out before you snug the balljoint bolts all the way down, so no actual load is placed on it.The lower balljoints will need to be pressed in by the end user.I agree that TIG welds are dope, but these are being mass produced with robotic welders in the interest of actually being able to keep up with demand! I'll post up some pics of a set before powdercoating so you can see the quality of the welds.As for how many we have, I just received about 25 sets in today, and 25 more just needed to be powdercoated. I have about 20 people that have been waiting EXTREMELY patiently for them, so they're first in line, but I will have plenty of sets to send out next week."$469.95?" somebody asked. Retail price is $469.95 for a set of 4 arms with bushing and balljoints, powdercoated silver. Member price is $399.95.Finally, as for clearance with headers/ V8 swaps, etc... I honestly don't know for sure. The only two trucks these have been installed on so far are our shop beater, an '87 S10 with a V6, and a '96 Sonoma with a 4 cylinder. I will make this offer to anybody considering these arms: If you have a V8, let's get you a set to try. IF they don't clear, let's make the next run so they do. The jigs would not be hard to modify for the second run, so we can "evolve" them as we go to make sure they fit as many applications as possible!Thanks for the feedback- I'll keep you guys posted as we learn more!
