I think those Grapplers you had were for some other dudes truck.

 

Oh you got me...
For a friends jeep

 

Well damn....

 

I'm jk!

Tars are in my shed waiting to be put on

 

How much longer till truck is back from shop?

 

Not sure, but I know she is in good hands

 

That's good

 

Not a bad Monday !

 

Just a heads up buddy, none of the LCA's are designed around aftermarket spindles so you will have to do two easy things :

1. trim your steering stops a bit on your spindles. Super easy to do, just keep trimming until your steering radius feels the same. That gusset from the cup to the arm is actually a landing pad for your steer stops and they make it out of stainless steel so when your stop hits it a and rubs the paint off of it it does not rust and stays shiny.

2. Where your ball joint adapter bolts onto the bottom of your spindle you will most likely need to put 1 washer between the adaptor and the spindle which will space it down a hair and create clearance for the top of the uniball to clear the spindle at droop. Hope that makes sense if not I can snap a couple pics for you later.

P.S. I will stop by crown for you this week, you should be able to figure out the install from that one pic I posted of mine.

 

Edit - that info is based on a PC spindle so your BDS may or may not have the same issues ?

 

Thx for the info and thanks for going to Crown!
I called but no luck

 

Dirt king lowers. This is going to be interesting. All you need now is glass.

 

Negative!

 

I miss the glass!!!

 

How was the fitment of the DK lowers and your spindles?

 

So far everything looks perfect, need to do a test run still and see how it does tho

 

Hey Matt, I'm going to stop by Crown for you tomorrow. Do your BDS spindles have a hole all they way through where the sway bar would mount ? That Hole is what I used to secure an L bracket to hold the brake hose ( see photo ) The fitting for the L bracket is installed over the hose before the fittings are put on the hose. The hose " floats" through the L bracket so if your mounting location is not identical it does not matter. If you can use that same mountiing location he can build the kit exactly the same as mine hardware included.

 

Yea pretty positive I have a hole there also!

Thanks man
