    You have the fenders and radiator support mounted yet? I'm suprised the steering gear fit inside of the right front fender. The rear steer nova works much better, though you still would have to narrow it 3"-4".

  6. I posted the info in a new thread. It worked, but only a 3/4" total track reduction.

    I've done the 4x4 S-10 wheel on my Mopar cheap and easy. It moved my wheel in over an inch. No more rubbing the fenders. The down side is you have to find cool hubcaps.
     
  9. to move the upper arms in 1 inch u must do the lower as well either use new arms or go the wheel route if u cut u will have lots of fun when u go over bumps or skiff,s on the road it wants to dive eitherway and it wont tell u wich way

    I currently have 2 vehicles with narrowed arms, and have had many more in the past and haven't ever experienced this "diving" your speaking of. Could you elaborate more on your issues, please??:confused:
     
  11. I just test drove a 40 Ford with narrowed arms. It drove and handled great. The guy I consulted for bought it, and is very happy with it. We put the car up on a hoist. It was done well, I had no problem giving the car a thumbs up.
