timber (victor?)- ditto what lance says on the a-arm hitting, i am seeing rub marks on the left side only (oddly...). i am hearing a deep "clunk" sound -- the kind of sound that makes your heart skip -- when they collide...i am not _doing_ anything as of yet, but i plan on replacing the uppers when i have the dough.
chris- you are welcome. i am glad i finally have it straight, thanx to lance/bulldog/uhom/timber.

on another note, and if you want to let us in on the secret, are you looking at (read: are you going to be beta-ing for) either SAW or OME?

Quick FYI-
Our NE A-Arms will be out in mass production mode very soon. GT and I both agree that the Inland Arms can be much improved, so I will be swapping mine out as well, replacing them with ours.
There are a ton of things brewing in the NE pot...with 4Route seeing nearly all of the parts first as we have a little deal worked out. Stay tuned, have a good one all.

To avoid rubbing entirely, you would probably need to stick to a 32" or less tire. The square shape of our fenders definitely doesnt help either. I have had to reshape the fenders more than anything, and just finished that once and for all to clear my 325/50R22's (36's). I am sure others will chime in. The NE spacer will give you more height up front, but not cure your rubbing issues. Good luck.

Thanks all, the site is being re-done by no other than 4Route as we speak. Should be done very soon. More pics and info on the way as well. And I agree, it is nearly impossible to read, hence the intervention by 4Route.
ahriman - 4route is down for the first set of a-arms, but you are now second. Our business loan will be complete very soon, and that is when all the madness should start. Everything up to this point has been outta my pockets, and lets just say they aint that deep.
Get ready for a barrage of parts very soon. I will be sure to make all of you the first to know. Late.

Broke ABS line
Billy,
Thanks for being so brave in forging the new frontier on lifts for the 4th gens. I heard you snapped an ABS during your install? I did mine this weekend with Tracy's guidance. She wrote some excellent installation instructions. Okay- I'm gonna hit you up, how $$ is this ABS fix? Also, I used daystar- I hear you are designing your own lift kit system. How tall, ect?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

We are most likely gonna use the 3/4 photo for the web page...if you have any others, or take some while you are on the trails, that would be killer.
Again, great work...glad to see our Nitrous Enterprises Spacers in the mix.

also, thanks for the kind words. i'll get back to ya in more detail at a later date, but we are working on a few different complete kits that give 3.5" of lift, as there are already many on the market in the 2-3" area. good luck with your line replacement.
