I had camber issues, but the offset upper control arms bushings fixed them.  I wanted to kill myself while installing them though, What a pain in the ass even with the correct press adapters they give you

Ya that’s why I was thinking I wanted the upper control arms just to make everything easier ha

Mcgaughys has upper control arms, you can buy them in a kit with the spindles. @lovelessjl is running them

I didn’t know they had one I will look it up

Word of caution, you'll have to cut the lower balljoint stud to run 20s, otherwise you'll have to go with 22s or larger with the mcgaughys spindles

We must have different spindles or something, there is no way I could get a 17 on mine. I've been meaning to ask about your setup because I wanna run smaller wheels at the track.

I have the cast arms. Maybe thats it i do know a guy with a 17 crew cab. Stamped steel arms and he has to use a spacer in the front with a 7 wide wheel and his clears

I haven't been under the truck in a while, I don't remember which arms I have. My only gripe about my truck is that I can't run smaller wheels when I want to. Oh well, I'll figure something out

I think you have stamped steel.  Could be why. I think you have to have a certain offset wheel. But i could be wrong

I think you're right about the arms... Gonna have to get creative when it comes time to add sticky rubber

You could always swap the front end to cast.  Ive done that to trucks here in town but might be more than you want to do.  Or just run a 20/17 like i did for awhile

I guess the important thing is that the tire diameter be the same front to rear since I'll be launching in 4wd. I won't be making enough power to really need tall sidewalls up front for a while anyways.

You can fit 17's with the Belltech Spindles, they give you a low profile lower ball joint nut to use after cutting the balljoint stud down.  You can fit 18's by just trimming down the stud and using the stock nut.

I got this nut from belltech as well. I didnt quite need it but it was close enough to buy it
