Repositioning Balljoints

Edited: 12/29/2006 7:21:15 PM by 732kustom

hey guys, well im running 3/4 ton a arms on my fullsize with some modded lowers. The upper a arm balljoint is binding up, keeping the front from laying, trucks on 24s ...Should i place the balljoint into the spindle lay the frame on the ground, and then go about my measurements to reinstall the balljoint on the arm. I know a couple guys on here rolling on them 4's.....not down for buying anybodys aarms

I kept my factory 88-98 1/2 ton arms, and made a slice behind the balljoints, leaving the middle 1" of the control arm still attached. I bent the arms where I made the cut about 10 degrees, and welded them back up. I'm on 22's though.

thank for replying bro, love the truck....could you send pics, applegarth@earthlink.net

i have the 3/4 ton arms and ball joints with a reamed spindle an i just did a v cut on the arms and bent them and welded them back up and on my lowers i just cut the sides of the arms and bent them and welded them back up its pretty simple
