I was lookin a b-series truck on ssm when i came across this. I have never saw or even thought about doing this. For people that don't see it the upper control arms are literally flipped over, Thats the bottom your looking at....They deff do look ugly like that but i wander if it works and how well/reliable....

huh never seen that before. Not much camber at all but I wonder how much lift he gets before it goes positive

if i did that to a non baged truck would it sit lower even though my front end is slammed?

don't know that i would totaly trust that, i would have to reinforce them by adding a piece of flat plate on what is the top of the control arm in th pic + it would make it look a little better too.. but deffinately kreative thinking tho..

i bet the wheels camber in when he lifts it, but still not a bad idea for you mazda guys

the problem is that now the balljoint is pointed down too much and when you try to get full lift the balljoints will bind or the arms will hit the bag mounts.

the upper balljoint plates should have a 0 degrees angle. not angled up or down from the tubes. on the lowers they should have about 5 degrees of up angle to work best.

That guy that has the nissan bodydropped on 22's did this. It just keeps the balljoint from binding when you go down but will now bind when you lift it.
