    I recomend down south motorsports, but you might be able to find some good black friday pricing if you are ready to pull the trigger now.

    Just got my lift finished the other day.
    LR UCA's, 885's, 1/2" spacer, Dakars in the back.
    I did the front install with no problems. The only problem I ran into was trying to line up the end bolts for the dakars so I took it to a shop to finish.

    did you check out BJMOOSE's write up on installing the Dakars? He came up with a pretty ingenious way to get the holes lined up. For some reason mine popped right in but I was prepared to use his method if they didn't.

    I would normally defer to your expertise but for two simple facts: 1. I assembled the BJ exactly as it was shipped, and 2. I inspected the nut and it was machined perfectly flat on both sides. I know it looks screwy in the pic, what looks like a lip is actually the top of the stud.

    Having read a lot here from the guys who've done this before me, I paid extra attention and care. That said, thanks for looking out.

    There is no lip on the nut like it shows in figure 1 above ?

    There wasn't a lip one mine. I belive chris bought them used so they may be a different model. I know SPC has changed their washer/bushing setup a few times (i have smaller washers on the inside of the bushings and bigger ones on the outside), i am guessing they have changed the balljoint nut also.

    My nut is the same on both sides.....I don't think it can be installed upside down.
