dont do it you lose too much lift. run into steering and toe issues as well. ive seen people do it them go back to stock. flip the bj in the arm only and raise your upper mounts 1.25 inches and run drop spindles. i just did this and have-4 degrees of camber when laid out and 0 at 1 inch off the ground. and those tires are 31 inches tall 265/70/17

hey dave what did u do with your fuse box and wire harness when u took the fenders out im just wondering cuz i took mine out and it has no slack to stretch or pull out of the way!?!?!? thanx..

heres my setup...

Jason does your brake lines hit the control arm when turned all the way either direction?? Mine hits right where it comes out of the caliper. And what size wheels are those??

nope i dont have any issues with rubbing up there. since i added some 30 series tires i dont get quite the lift i'd like but i cant complain to much since its body dropped 5 1/4" on 24s. i can barely miss the fenders at full turn. it still tucks a little bit of tire at full lift.

whats the point in flipping the UCA's?? something i haven't heard of, & as anyone else if they are like me, i would like to know more

Well with the control arm in factory position you get alot of negative camber. My tire was hitting my brake booster and keeping me from laying out. so if you take the left side UCA and flip it up side down and put it on the right side it with the ball joint going in bottom side up and vise versa for the left side it gets rid of almost all you camber probs. but in return limits you on lift..

im gonna prob flip my out tir rods cause as you can see they get in a bind too.

if you flip you outer tie rod it will not travel on the same plane as teh lca. notice how jason flipped everything. both arms and tre. if you flip the arm you will also have to flip the lower to keep your bumpsteer to a minumin
