Just high angle heim joint tie rods and a cheap *** leveling spacer. Control arms are next on the list then coilovers and on to the rear end. Noone likes a girl with a dumpy rear end.

How do you feel about JMR's billet uppers? I think I will stick with moly uppers and uniballs. The lowers are what I fear...unless I decide to cut out the factory bushings and weld it double shear tabs for heims....like every other truck.

I dont know, i havent seen them yet. If theyre billet im assuming theyre aluminum which means the price tag is probably almost the cost of a lift kit lol. And if theyre balljoints than they still wont acheive the angles a uniball could. Yea chromoly upper and lower arms with uniballs is the cats meow..along with double sheer tabs and a shock hoop with a coilover. Thats a nasty ranger destroyer haha.

You're newest pics of the heims and clevis washers look good. Have you determined the wedge angle on the upper ball joint studs for the nuckles yet? Or are you going to drill them like you did for the tie rod ends?

Clevis washers? Wedge angle? Huh?! Lol.

No were drilling them out for a 3/4 bolt. Balljoints are too weak.

Sorry, I meant wedge angle for the uniballs. I've seen some companies use those...but I suppose a 3/4" bolt will get r done, lol.

You've never heard of clevis washers? You have them on both sides of the heims for your "in process" upper control arms.
