So I take it that the brackets are not marked "'R" or "L" correct? This is good information to know.
After looking at you pictures of right and wrong, it appears to be obvious.

I hope that makes sense. If not I'll try to clarify further, and "no," correcting the brackets does not change the lowered height.

Thanks Murc.


The FTE Nation appreciates it!!!

No trouble at all!

Turns out I may be back here a lot more for the next while. I sprained my ankle, and broke my foot today. Doctor says to stay off my feet for the next 6-8weeks, so I won't be out in the garage.....

That sucks. Sorry to hear about that. Take it easy and you'll be back in action before too long.

I wanted to give a quick thanks to you and 68Merc for all the info. I just did my DJM kit this past weekend and I might have put the rear brackets on backwards as well had I not read this. Seeing some of the pics it gave me an idea what I was getting into. A lot of good info on this site if you do your homework. Thanks Guys!
