Default This is going to suck

When I decided to raise my uca mounts I didn't look at the passenger side. 3 out of 4 will be easy but the front one is going to fuck me sideways. Check it out. Any suggestions are welcome.

The square is perpendicular to the ground and touching the top part of the frame. Its about 5/8 to 3/4 gap at the bottom.







Im sure I can figure something out but at this point I'm just sittin here staring at it. any suggestions?

you sir, have a mighty big set of balls cutting on that frame. I have always said that when I get a truck, Ima bag it; but now that I have one, it's a different story.

That's ll I ever got when I was over there. Where are you at? I heard that some of the army guys had computers without filters when I was at Kirkuk.

I get it all the time "you cut up a brand new truck?"

I get that almost as much as the mexican thing.

your smart doing the hard one first thats the best way to handle a situation like that. most chicken out and wait to do it last then shit never gets finished cuz they get discouraged.
but it doesnt look like it was overall that bad. ill call you tomm.

are you just raising the upper arms, or are you narrowing your track width?

I am raising the uca's and narrowing the track width. If I was just raising the uca's I would have been done by now. Narrowing the track width is what made this hard. I had to bring them in at least 1/2" if I want to shorten the lca's 1". I can do the rest on the uppers with the cam adjustment. This was way harder than I thoght it was going to be but like Dava Flav said, I got the hard part done first. I aint no dummy so I wanted to make sure it was possible to tackle the hard one first. I have a plan to finish the rest on that front one and then the others should be easy. I thought this was going to be a big project and it turned into a bigger one. I'm okay with it though. I am ready for little camber change. Hopefully the reasearch pays off. And hopefully it all works out so I can make a detailed thread on how to do this so others can do it without thinking. I'll be the ginnie pig. Not to make it seam like this is ground breaking technology. I just haven't seen a write up on this.

I'm surprised! 179 views and only 6 people decided to make a coment. I guess I'm an attention whore for even mentioning it but I really expected more. Oh well, I can cry myself to sleep tonight.

More to come on this bitch soon. As long as I don't get over worked this week I should be able to get a decent amount more work done.
