How soon do You need money in hand to get in on this group buy?

Jeepin Al · **Posted:** Mon Feb 27, 2006 3:01 pm

So I am planning on making the list for the group buy at the end of the week. To all who couldn't wait thank you!

It seems that I have cleaned every warehouse out east of the Miss. River of the upper ball joints and bushings. I will be raiding the western warehaouses this week in search of the rare, but hearty upper ball joint native to MOPARS, and their friends the bushings, native only to the KJ.

The more I find the more will be made quickly,

Al

Hey Al, do you have that list ready?
When will you start taking order on the group buy?

Thanks,

Ed

BTW I like my A arms... I do have contact right below the front mount with the frankenlift but everything else looks great.

I think i maybe able to cut out some right there to make more room. And the lift should sag some more and that will help.

Mr. Pit Viper,

Darn, that lift has a lot of movement. This is a first! I have never seen that before. There is some extra body there that can be ground or cut out. In fact I think you can go pretty deep. I will find out in the next couple of weeks.

Al

PS I will putting the list together today or tomorrow.

Mine does the same as Pit's Al. But I did not cut the body, I guess the droop has beat it down for me though :wink:

I have the Daystar 2.5" lift and just installed my Al's upper control arms and I get the same contact. But, I don't mind it that way, since I now have about 1/8"-1/4" clearance between the ball joint and the spacer now, where I was getting contact before. So, I will be leaving mine just the way it is. I just need to get it to the shop to have the alignment done today. I just installed them last night and it took me about 2.5 hours for both sides. I love being able to grease the ball joints.

Thanks Al for a GREAT product. Keep up that awesome work and the unsurpassed customer service.

I have been very busy here at my real job, I will have a list soon, with all the info.

I needed to address the hitting of the body. Please fold over the steel, so its not "sharp" it will "cut" into the arm steel.

Mine does the same thing (not as bad, only one side hits, however my arms were the first built, so they are a little different in shape). I was looking real close and it has marked the arm in one place.

Is it too late to get in on this?

Jeepin Al · **Posted:** Fri Mar 10, 2006 9:35 pm

I will post a list this weeekend, we are supplies in, and figuring out how to get them...........plated. Would everyne be willing to pay a few extra bucks, $5.00 to $10 if I could get these bad boys "gold" plated to keep them from rusting? And to keep you from painting them. I am working a deal with a couple of plating companies on prices. I even contacted a guy I know that galvinizes (sp).

Anti-rust coating would be cool, so long as it didn't raise the price any more than $5-$10. Could they still be painted if they were coated? I'd still want black or blue ones.

Plating sounds good, but I would not want gold or shiny silver. That would pimp my ride a little too much for my taste. Not to mention the first time I went to the mall, someone would steal my control arms. What about something like black nickel plating. I have seen some Hornaday brass plated with it and it looks good.

JJsTJ · **Posted:** Sat Mar 11, 2006 8:11 pm

I would prefer rattle can black. Cheap and easy...just like me. :wink:
