devin4491 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 ok i have some lonestar +2+1's and the bilt thing on the ends of the a-arms is to big for my stock spindles... as in the spindles cant slide on past the threads of the bolts, so i cant mount them. Do i have to drill out the holes on the spindles to fit these a arms? has anyone else had to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogs Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I'm surprised you didn't know that. The only arms I know of you don't have to ream are wicked's but i'm sure theres a few more. Sounds like you need to buy the tool to ream it out yourself. Shouldn't be expensive or hard to do just try to take your time and grease everything up good. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
