Anyone else experience a higher front end stance after installing new a-arms and ball joints? Front end is currently about an inch talker now than before I swapped out the worn OEM crap for JBA's units. Double and even triple checked everything to maker sure we did it right. Before you ask, yes...........we didn't tighten anything up until the full weight if the CRD was resting on the suspension and two of us (combined 400lb) on it hard to settle it.

Well, had the alignment done today.........and still no change!!! Not that I'm complaining, as it sits level now actually.

Control arms do not provide lift

I know they don't, but the fact still remains..........the front end is sitting approx 1" taller now than before.

I thought the opposite happened. I just put in the Arms and added a slight clevis lift...not level though. (Didn't want it to be)
