As I was nearing my home after a good morning's worth biking, I had to brake hard in the Jeep and heard a metallic pop and a ricochet. Afterword every time I hit the brakes there was metallic pop, fortunately I was only a mile from home when this happened. So I put the jeep on stand and pulled the front wheels off to see what gives.
To my dismay If found that my drivers brake caliper upper mounting bolt had sheered off, so I decided to install my set of JBA 4.5 A-arms and a 3/8" Strut spacer while doing my repair. Nice to see a bad thing can turn out all right, I got to drink beer and work on my Jeep all day
.
Important thing, though many of you may know this with the Drivers side clevis will clear the CV boot with a 3/8" strut spacer and CRD Frankenlift II installed. I am attaching pictures that I shot with my phone, I apologize for the poor picture quality, but you see how much, or little clearance there is wit this set up.

The strut plates I used are Boiler's 3/8" strut plate (easy install, reasonable price quick on the shipping). The A-arms were much more of a pain in my fourth point of contact.
