350evo arms require you to shave off the same bumps as they also hit.

This is the problem I'm having. With the heims only out 3/8", when I cycle the arm manually before I tighten them down, it contacts the frame. So I think I spent $600 for nothing, unless there is a workaround. Any help is welcome and appreciated.

Mike I don't know what to say. My heim joints are out 1/2" and I don't hit anywhere except for the bumps I still haven't ground down on the radius arm. And that's dropped 3". I am back in factory spec on camber and toe on all 4 corners at this point and am super happy about that.

I recently adjusted my camber to fit my spacers and fat tires..
It was super easy to pop out shims and acquire neg camber.


This was a helpful goto link for those that don't know..

Alf we're talking about adding more positive camber, apparently with all of the shims in and moving the heim joints out some people are having issues with the front of the arms hitting the inside of the frame.

Thanks for the link, it's a good one.

Yeah. I remember in the directions if u needed more pos camber to back out the heim joints.. When Mine are all the way in and all the shims were in, my alignment was PERFECT.. No camber issues or tire wear what so ever... Kinda bummed I had to run spacers for my BBK requiring me to add -1 degree camber so I wouldn't rub.. I guess I wouldnt really have to if I was running a stretched tire though..

SPL parts are nice.. Endlinks are next for me..

I got em on with the heims out about 1/4", at the alignment shop now so we will see. But I must say, they looked pretty good with just a visual check
