My front end needs to be pushed forward how can I do this

winston427

Was it recently lifted? If so , how much lift?

parkerbabco

what are you doing for it to need moved forward.. puting in lower control arms?

littleleonard0909

ya its got a little over 6.5 of lift and the back side of the tires are going to hit the finders

You need to get new control arms. Upper and lower, preferably adjustable ones. The stock arms are just to short to go that high.

parkerbabco

well.. im guessing here.. longer uper and lower control arms? just a guess

You are definitely going to need longer adjustable arms. I am curious what lift kit you put on?? Most 6.5" kits come with longer control arms. If you are on stock arms I'd strong suggest going with a long arm setup.

i have upper adj but the lower came with the kit, could i make some and i was thinking if i did i would just go with making a long arm kit, would this make it move forward

The long arm setup reduces the angles of the control arms for a smoother ride and better flex offroad. If you build a custom set, it will be up to you to design and fab the correct length.

I think the cheapest thing he can do right now is to get a set of control arm drop brackets. That will take the angle out of his lower arms and move the axle forward and make it ride a lot better.

easy and cheap fix

CA drop brackets cost almost as much as a full set of RC adjustables.


screw that

At 6" of lift, CA Drop or long arms, will help more than new short arms, ADJ or Non. OP, said he got new arms with the lift. Short arm don't adjust enought to completly solve the issues of 6"+ of lift.

X2 Long arms are the best answer, drop brackets the next best.

They are not too difficult to build but the materials should be pretty strong stuff. DOM tubing with thick walls. And 1/4" plate for the crossmember hinge point.
The only tricky point in the one that I assisted in building was the rusted up brake lines that needed to be replaced with longer ones.
