the lower is right..i just went out and tore it all apart and thats the only way the ball joint can go and he designed that you only flip the upper and that is done.. i would have to butcher the lowers to flip the lower joint...and i dont wanna do that to bad...almost got the cab on .. bastard is frigin heavy got a friend comin over to help and then i will have a better idea..hopefully i can just move the upper out...

Turn your spindle over. Its upside down. Thats the passenger side spindle. You can tell by the incline of the spindle.

Yeah your scrub area isn't even in the tires contact patch. If you put the other one on that side you probably will reduce your camber about 10 degrees or more.

its odd that both the upper and lower tapers on the spindle are the same , and they auctually fit into the spindle fine....

that dosent seem like it should fit at all if they were upside down.

It shouldn't, but its obviously upside down. The spindle inclination is the opposite of what it should be, and look where the tie rod would be.

BTW, did you get my email Taylor?

That just shows that everyone will always look for the worst right off the bat, then its the easiest thing in the world. And we have all had days like that Ryan.
