It probably has and it's probably because of your lift. The only way to really push it forward is with adjustable control arms. That's exactly why them make them adjustable. When i used to build jeeps for a living, before they made control arm drop brackets, we used to cut of mounts at the axle and make extended control arm mounts. Now days they make a lot of different options, like drop brackets. That's what I run because I couldn't afford long arms on this jeep I have now. They work awesome and allow you to retain your current short arm lift. And they flex and ride just like long arms.

Or you could always pop for a set of adjustable lower arms. Might as well get uppers while you are at it.

I think we are going to need to put something together to hit that gold mine you mentioned in the near future... My boy hasn't quit asking about it

I'd also love to head North and see if we can do a snow run???? Or maybe there is enough snow in the South Hills now? Or or or ??

What do you need help with west? I don't have any control arms laying around but maybe I can come up with something. What issues are you having? Let me know and I'll do what I can.

Anyone up for a trip this coming weekend? I'd like to either hit the snow up North or maybe something in the South Hills... Or, if Dirtster can swing it, maybe that mine area in NV we discussed?

I am off on Saturday so I am open to anywhere you want to go ... north, south east or west.

Jarbidge area (Nevada gold mine), South Hills, north to Ketchum or north over by Fairfield, east toward the sand dunes near American Falls, west toward the Owyhees.

There could be snow in any of those areas. Let me know and I will make some phone calls to find out conditions.

My cell: 421-3286. We will need to get a fairly early start no matter which way we go.
