    Is anyone running tube arms and 16's that is body dropped??? Mine don't clear the wheels and just about hit the brake splitter block.

    I know bigger wheels will clear the arms, but it won't clear the splitter. Anyone have an easier fix? I spaced the wheels out a 1/4 inch and it clears the balljoint but I can't hardly tune.

    need pics to see your setup. what arms are you running, how wide of rims are you running. Do you have 4x4 fenders or 2x4. bodied on 2x4 fenders its always gonna be hard to turn, you will have to air up to do most driveway turns and what not.

    bernie made me some tube arms.

    2x4 fenders.

    its not the fenders that make it hard to turn, the wheel actually hits the arm when you turn more than half way. 16x7.

    just a question why did you have to run arms on 16's... I would think you could do it on stocks unless you just wanted that look under the hood

    it was a matter of looks, and more lift.

    i ordered drop spindles as im like 95% sure that will fix the problem but take away a little lift until I built some spacers for the control arms.
