    That’s America for you, where we’ve become numb to it.

    Wow! 3 years goes by so fucking fast..........

    These keep the cam tabs from moving while you're off roading which is what requires you to get subsequent front end alignments?

    Are these welded in place?

    You can still knock your alignment out of place with these, but at least you don’t have to worry about flattening out the tabs anymore.

    So these just prevent the tabs from bending? If they don't bend, can I assume they are not moving? And if they were bending before, were they moving to do that?

    You know I like learning.

    The tabs themselves won’t move but the alignment bolts can still rotate on their own if you have a hard enough hit.

    with these new ones, it’s as simple as getting a new alignment.

    with the factory ones, you risk simultaneously bending the tabs and needing to fix that.

    The tabs bend first, then the mounts second.

    Steve at dirt designs can hook you up with lca mount gussets.

    This good sir is exactly why you don't buy an old all pro +2 kit. Especially when you're not a fabricator. There was a series of mistakes made. You'll be glad to know 3 hours with a grinder fixed this. Basically the front portion of the lca hits the frame mounts, so i had to cut them back then tried to fill the gap.

    I thought marlin made the lower control arm cradle, with reinforced mounts, that moved the lca mounts 2" forward. My apologies.

    Given this is a forum, so everyone assumes your full of bs, here is a picture of what i cut, which still didn't clear the lca, so i cut more and made my own gussets.
