My down travel? of the minimum lift requirement for the arms?

If you're asking about my down travel then yeah like dukie said, at the moment my shocks from my previous 3" lift limit my down travel. Once I pony up and buy some longer shocks (I really want some Nitro's) then I'll install some limit straps but haven't got to that yet, lol.

If you're asking about the limited lift requirement then I'm assuming its the lower control arm mounts. They were almost touching before I cut them off.

Are you serious?! GREAT, just ordered the long arm upgrade kit last week. Have not got a tracking number for it, was hoping this week. Might have to call 'em up. Whats their excuse? If it's going to be that long I might as well save more money and go with something else.

When I talked to the woman in customer services she told me they've been swamped with orders and she's been basically was the only one there since the company is in moab right now and also was told the bushings for the trac bar were on back order

Yeah. It was not bad. Their in the middle of nowhere so it takes two days just to get out of MN, but still like 1.5 weeks from order to get to me out in CA. That's two order and one makeupd order since UPS choked on the second order. Good CS with no trouble.

Umm their just outside of Minneapolis. I would hardly call that middle of nowhere. And the UPS hub is only about five miles away so two days to get out of MN is total BS.

That being said it is pretty crappy for them to take orders and not inform people that shipping is going to be delayed for any reason.
