Hey guys, I just installed my new IRO long arms and I'm having a little dilemma. The passenger arm is making contact with the down pipe. I don't know if the walker downpipe hugs the transmission pan any closer than the stock. I basically need to know if ordering a walker pipe would help out here, or if I need to go to an exhaust shop to have the downpipe modified.

Can someone take a picture of their walker down pipe for me (similar to this pic)?



Here's a photo of what's going on...

Is your axle centered?

Yes, I should add that the arm almost makes contact with the factory LCA bucket. So the arm can't move any further to the right.

If axles shifted to drivers side from incorrect track bar length moving it to passenger side will increase distance on passenger side .

the IRO long arms are inside of the LCA mounts. If I moved the axle any further passenger or driver then the arm would be directly contacting the mount. My axle is centered, I didn't change anything with lift or track bar. I only installed the IRO long arms.

Yes, my axle is centered. If it was not centered the IRO arms would be hitting the LCA mounts. It's not an axle issue.

Super ride does not come with adjustable trac bar. So if axles of 1/2 your going to be close to exhaust from axle being pulled to drivers side.

Its recommended you purchase the adjustable track bar with the kit every where I looked . Theirs another option a trac bar relocation bracket. It still womt be perfectly centered but should cure your issue uless a trac bars in your budget now.https://www.google.com/search?q=trac...75030392875965
