So here's a new one. To me at least. When compressed, My front driveshaft has been coming in contact with my upper control arm and chewing away the thin stock arm. I at about 5-6" lift with stock arms and drop brackets. I plan on building a 3-link eventually and running my upper on the passenger side.

Developed a hate for amor all. Drove her down a dirt road and tires and rims full of fine power. Well it looked good while it did. Never using it again.

Brown box showed up on my door step with my fat bobs short arms. Picking up new coils and shocks this weekend. Front end will finally be done! (Yes!) Might not install tho, maybe wait for my new jeep, which hopefully is alot cleaner underneath.
