Dont forget to machine an upper cap, and shaft for that upper uni-ball.  your lift wont change much if you dont.  Also, if you taper the cup face angle it will keep the bearing from maxing out on the cup too early.   Im assuming you got pre-machined cups for them.  They wont give you a very favoriable angle, and they make that uni-ball max out too quick.  With a few machining changes, you can get ALOT more travel out of them. Ive ran into these issues on a few customer vehicles, and was able to solve it by doing some simple machine work on the cups and alignment spacers and caps.   Taylor

Man Taylor I need those caps like what is on Adams uppers...I get plenty of lift right now but it might be a lil close after my upgrade. If I sent you my tappered shaft and the actual balljoint could you make the cap for me...let me know.
