Both hole in the spindle and the ball joint it self is tapered. Now how does the inch and a half that your supposed to get out of this work. I did it and only got maybe a little more than an half inch. I couldnt totally flip the ball joint upside down because the taper on both the spindle and ball joint. I cut out the bump stops and and the hump in the lower control arm. Does anyone know something I dont? Thanks in advance fellas!
i dont know where you heard youll get 1.5'' of drop from but you were lied to lol. usually gettin about 3/4" of drop from it and you dont actually flip anything you just take it from the bottom to the top.
yeah im the one that did that write up... the very first time i heard about flipping ball joints i though you literally fliped the ball joint... but no all your doing is moving the balljoint from under the control arm to on top the control arm
Well thats been done and thats about what i got was that 3/4". I have no complaints because it is low dont get me wrong, I went 3 notches on the tortions and flipped them. Thanks alot for the help guys.
O and also lol. I found that a 81-02 Nissan fronteer or 80-82 chevy Luv front shock is a very good shock for this setup (compress length= 8.000, full length= 11.75", total travel= 8.375)
