    When installing those DJM arms did you have to grind part of the frame where it mounts to the crossmember in order to remove the shims to get better camber, caster. When i installed mine i had to grind the back for the upper arms to fit. Otherwise my caster camber was way off. Looked like this \\.....// I wasnt very imppressed with the a arms. I like how you mounted the brake line. I have a 70 chevy c10

      +J Shorb No, I didn't have to do that. Are you sure they shipped you the correct control arms? Working on a friends truck a few years ago we ran into the same problem as you. We checked the part number on the box with the one on the invoice. The vendor had shipped us the wrong control arms. When the correct arms arrived, we bolted them on without any problems.

    thanks for the response saw your brake line issue I was waiting on your response before I ordered mine one other quick question I noticed when you did your rear flip kit you took part of the overload spring and made a lowering block and the saddles are offset pushing rearend back a little i noticed it made the back of the saddle have some over hang off the lowering block have you had any issues with that?

    • @milkcrate82

      I haven't had any issues, but I should have cut that spring longer to avoid that overhang

    do you have to replace the control arm or could you use stock?

    • @milkcrate82

      +Sean Bradley You can use stock upper and lower control arms with this much drop. Any lower and you would want to swap out at least the upper control arm. The stock upper arm would hold the upper ball joint at a sharp, unfavorable angle with a drop of more than 5". Thanks for watching!

    Did u leave the factory shims on. On the top control arm

    • @milkcrate82
      @milkcrate82  8 років тому

      Yes... I put the original amount of shims back in place so I could drive it the 1.5 miles to the shop for an alignment.
