I've had clearance issues. I had cut and welded in some 1/4 x 1" bar stock to raise them up. I thought they cleared but they hit when wheeling. I've since went over the knuckle and lowered them lower than stock. Now I've seen a guy on Pirate moved his under and in front of the draglink. I might do that next. I'd like to get rid of it. It's a daily driver and I've ran with out it and it isn't bad, but I've missed it during avoidance maneuvers. Suicidal deer, ground hogs and possum mainly.

What do you guys think about a lower pitman arm than I already have? Its pretty much parallel with the track bar and she rides pretty darn good for not having an alignment. It actually handels better at 55mph ranther than 35mph. And its really not that bad without the sway-bars, not much body roll as you would think. I was thinking about an 1" to 1 1/2" longer. Running the RE pit man arm the kit came with.

Forgot to add that I have the RC lower control arm kit but I dont think that has anything to do with my drag link angle would it? Just helps the angles of the axel right????
