    I have a 5 inch dropped axle 34 bones and 1940 dropped round back spindles and my tie rod still hits the bottom of my bones can I notch out my wishbones a little at the bottom ? or pie cut my bones for some clearence or? Ideas? Also home much clearance do you have to have between your bones and tie rod?

    Thanks

  2. Stock steering arms? You have to heat & bend the steering arms downward. Or remove them and install the aftermarket dropped steering arms.
