lol, it doesnt change the placement of the balljoint, it's just moving the part of the control arm that's in the way. its the exact same effect as dehumping.works well too, ive got about 15k on mine and have been very pleased with myself. stepped 1 1/4"

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by nekbreakernot yours the mazda that this is all about.---------------------------------------------If its on a mazda 86-93 you can just narrow the front clip and run the drop spindle. They are pretty easy to narrow the clip on and you can z it an inch while you have it cut loose from the truck. You will need to pull the motor to narrow the clip but thats no big job, odds are if its an extensive build you probably have the motor out anyways. Spend a few minutes with a tape measure and some masking tape to lay out the cuts on the chassis, once you have the concept down you will see how easy it can be to do.

The truck should have some stepped arms this week. Hopefully, Its not a huge build by any means, and i don't feel like pulling an engine either...thats a pain in the ass..haha
