i bolted it all together; spindles, rotor etc, then measured how far out the front of the lca mount hole (where the stock bushings were) the new bar stuck out. i think it was about 1/4" or so. it was only a little more than it'd take to get a decent bead on w/o interfering with where the bushing will ride against. i just eyeballed it, then only put in a couple tacks & trailered it to get an alignment done. i actually surprised myself that i was dead on. he had to add quite a few shims to the upper cross shaft to make the camber right at my normal ride height though. i had to go get longer bolts just to make them fit, but it all worked out in the end.
before you even start though, let me suggest this...i ground down & re welded the upper balljoint plate because mike only butt welded them & i saw a lot of guys posting pics of bent upper arms right at the balljoint plate that had them on s10's.
all & all though i'm quite happy with the arms. i have barely any camber layed out, perfect at ride height, & a little positive locked up (but i never ride that high). my tires have NO uneven wear. mike built a pretty decent product. not as good as others, but great for the price. it's just too bad he couldn't put forth the same effort into customer service & maybe take a few business classes...
good luck & feel free to hit me up for anything else.
