Cutting ball joint studs with spindles

[Regency]

I also scrub down with supplies the inside of my wheel and my undercarriage

heres pics of trimmed Bj with 17 rims. So 18 Def will not clear without cutting. If you have 4wd, you need to trimm upper Stud too

Those are great pics. Thank you very much. I guess that's not so bad. I was worried that you had to cut it basically flush with the half nut.

i Trimmed a little at a time until the wheel fit. When i got where it needed to be, i peened the stud like you would with a trailer hitch so it cant back off. So far still nice and tight and no problems

You know I don't understand my particular car...
I have had a 2" drop with spindles and now struts and both times I've had alignment issues huge ones.
Can someone explain to me what's wrong with my car!
I can't even get a perfect alignment at stock height!

you need the belltech camber kit. Trailblazer ss's ive done stock height there have been more than a few that havent aligned. people end up doing my modified djm uppers and no more issues.

Its just the nature of the beast sometimes

I got the camber kit in the mail and your saying upper control arms is next step?

 

[NORCAL SS]

no as long as you get the belltech press in kit you will be fine. Ive done 4 inch drop with the camber bushigns is fine. Then again ive done 5 and 6 inch drops on the front of 07 up tahoes and aligned fine without the camber bushings but I used a different kit.

Tony, you pushing those rubbish control arms for the NNBS so much is just straight messed up. DJM is one of the only part I have got to install and the mounting points don't even match the one on the vehicle.
Josh, go ahead and scoop them. Looks like you will need to be the first to come back and give a pretty nasty review about them on this board after running them for a while.
What I tend to read a lot on here is a whole bunch of kits that were installed on customers cars by Tony, but few pics for whatever reason.

been running them for years already. Also gmfullsize.com many people have done the 5 *** 6 inch set up i sold them no issues. People have been trying the a arms with drop springs and couldnt align and bad ride they ended up for spindles so lots of 6/9 drops going around.

im going to be offering a 5-6/6-7 set up soon. I already have the 6 inch springs i specd out and have been tested just need to get them to a 00-06 truck owner now which will happen this weekend
