Hi guys, I am currently installing new Dirt King UCAs and LCAs. Uppers went pretty easily. Got a question about the lowers tho..
I followed the instructions that came with the install, but noticed the joint between the LCA and the spindle does not seem to be all the way down. I removed the bolt and tried for a good 2 hours to get it to drop a bit more to no luck. Is this the way it is supposed to sit? Or am I just not doing it correctly?

First pic is new UCA and LCA installed
Second is the LCA
3rd is a close up of the part I am referring to.

its correct. its a taller ball joint. all that matters is the notch for the bolt to slide through is lined up. you'll know what i mean. Don't force the bolt, it should have a clear path. I looked at that when i installed my lowers too and was a bit concerned.

Awesome thanks!!! I was so worried I fussed with it for atleast 1 1/2 hours. Probably could have been finished. Oh well. Lol. Thanks again

Btw.. in that first picture you can see the red bump stop I was referring to the other day.

Yup saw that. Soon as you mentioned it the other day I remembered that's how my 06 was too with the pro comp lift.
