when I lay my new truck out I want my wheels almost straight... and ride height will be 5/8ish, whats the best setup for the front? I love how above the trucks wheels are almost perfect

Several members on here have told me that on the nbs trucks, drop spindles help with reducing the negative camber when laying the truck out.

 

[GMracer]

i have those i was just wondering what else i know that truck doesnt just have spindles

 

[dava flav]

mover the upper arms up a 1- 1 1/2
and flip the upper arm

 

[GMracer]

it takes that much? hmm i was figuring maybe the ART arms and spindles... i can deal with camber I guess, if i have to move the controls to make it work.

with my 24's, i have ART arms and beltech spindles and i had to raise the uca mounts to just get the camber under control where i will be able to drive it

 

[dava flav]

matrix had to move the upper arms on his 24s even with art arms and spindles
the arms dont change the angle enough with big wheels to keep them straight

 

[dava flav]

well there you go i awas minute late fuck lol

 

[cajundragger]

flip the ucas and swap sides....it works I talked to a shop.

 

[GMracer]

with drop spindles?

 

[cajundragger]

nope

 

[dava flav]

you can use drop spindles but you have to leave them in the same pos in the spindle during the procedure.
so you have to ream out the arm just a tad to put the bj in the arm upside down

 

[dava flav]

we already had this topic covered dustin remember

 

[cajundragger]

yup, gmracer needs to do a search

 

[GMracer]

i remember that but if i dont use these spindles i swap arms to upside down and leave stock spindles and i will lay with lil camber?

cuz isnt that what comegetsome did and he has alot of camber

 

[cajundragger]

swap the arms upside down and flip the bj's so they go in from the bottom. That lays on you 24's will little camber. I wouldnt do this on anything smaller though or lift might be limited.

 

[GMracer]

well im on 20s so...

 

[dava flav]

comegetsome swaps his arms on stock spindles and leaves the bj in the stock location for laying on 22s with stock spindles.
you just have to ream the arm out a little to put the bj in upside down. and you dont have to swap sides they are the same

 

[dava flav]

well im on 20s so...

well just flip the arm and see what happens then add drop spindles if you want more. pm comegetsome for a detailed description or let me find it real quick

sorry ive been busy and havent been online....ok here is what we do...we take the upper control arm out...press the balljoint out....flip the arm over and shaffen out the hole 2 match the top( it is kinda tapered...you will see when you get the balljoint out) then press the balljoint back in on the opposite side of the arm(bottom) it just came from...dont press it back in the same way it came out...reinstall the control arm on the same side it came from with the balljoint like itwas but the arms are now upside down...this takes alot of angle off you balljoint...ill take pics on the next truck i do
put it back on the same side it came from

we put hydraboost setups on all our trucks(but now that the junkyard doesnt want to sell them to us 4 $100 bucks anymore i doubt we will)....no clearance issues but the stock MC will rub...and here is the last truck we done...here is teh camber he has...that is a 265/40 tire also...its alittle bigger than the 265/35 so it has alittle more drop than mine...
