Maximum Motorsports sells some arms that have an adjustable spring pirch if you're really worried about stance. Installing them is very easy, just make sure you have a good socket set.<br /><br />I say remove the quad shocks, put on your wider tires, if you notice wheel hop, look into lower control arms. If you don't notice anything, enjoy the wider tires. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>shade-tree</b> <br /><small>Member # 298</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,3,10,11,14,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> installing LCA's is a PITA!!! <br />requires a lot of leveraging and jacking and repositioning.
