Looks great Frank! The truck has a much better stance now.

Good thing you did the grinding beforehand than to have to do the job twice. That was the worst part of my install.
What kind of balljoints did you end up going with?

Reps to you Roland for helping Frank out!

I just hope that I ground out enough, there looks to be plenty of space in there. I guess I'll know when I get it to the alignment shop. I was going to do that tomorrow, but I think my starter just gave up the ghost....I'll change that tomorrow and get it aligned tues.
I went with the greasable Moog's

Franko, is the grinding done to allow for the spacer, or are you going with dual axis camber bushings?

Its for the camber bushings. Some trucks dont require any grinding. Your really just removing the casting flash, its not much grinding at all.

The starter always seems to act up after the trucks sits in the rain overnight. I have a new spare in my toolbox, I'm just not looking forward to changing it...
