Sorry if you were asking the size before these tires it was 255/75/17 km

 

[crashman]

well after my last run I had a bit of damage
my ride home

 

[crashman]

took out my diff and found what it was I broke

 

[crashman]

I also found out I had one of the defective Light Racing upper control arms

 

[crashman]

So I found out the Uniball control arms give an extra 1" down travel so after exchanging them out I will be selling them and getting a uniball type

Nice Build! You got my vote for T4ROTM.

Can you explain how this works? I've always been under the impression that the length of the shocks limit the travel, not the UCA's. I know the differences between the LR style OE ball joint and a uniball, but I'm not seeing why switching would give you any more droop than you already have. What would make the uniball style allow you to have more travel?

Thanks and good luck!

Thanks for your vote!!

I already have the extended travel Icons but from what I was told the uniball lets the wheel drop more because the ball has more travel the ball joint has the top of the arm to limit it
well that's how I understood it hope it makes sense
