Absolutely correct, when I do this I plan on cutting the top arm off and shortening the top of the spindle housing and shaft. I will make sure it is back parallel! I have raised the front about 3" higher than stock, and front end has over 10" travel with the aftermarket shocks. I removed all the thru bolts at the A arm mounts to the chassis, and replaced with custom swaged hollow aluminum shafts/bushings all anodized and dry moly coated. At ea. end titanium bolts installed with custom aluminum washers. I will never have those thru bolts anywhere in the suspension front or back! I had to cut one upper front out after numerous tries with every wedge I could create, I am surprised I didn't bend the
bulkhead plate in the back! These chassis are strong in that area! Everything front and back has turned into a custom fastener and tie rod combo, thanks to working at a swaging shop for the last 40 yrs. I can make what ever I want from custom hollow drive shafts to hollow cross shafts etc... Basically made from 7075 heat trtd to -T73 for stress corrosion cracking, and 2024 HT to -T42, and yes I do have quite a few stock removed parts if anyone needs anything to keep one of these ol'e girls running!
