Put my Ironman Fab lower control arms in. Friggin awesome!

Went to install the upper control arms and rounded the nut (slightly) on the drivers side (frame end). DAMN IT IS A TIGHT LITTLE F&*%ER!

Anyway, don't like the cam locking crap on the uppers, so I will pull them out next weekend and replace them with conventional nuts and bolts so I can get some purchase on both sides in future.

LCA's installed:


You can see the difference between the new HD LCA and the pressed steel UCA:


New UCA's on the left, old stock LCA's on the right:

Is that a grease nipple on the front of the LCA pointing upwards? Is that correct?

I can get to the one under the frame end, but buggered if I could get to the one on the axle end. How do you get to yours Oz?

I am going to get some angled grease nipples to make life easy I think....

Finished my switch panel! Pretty happy with how it turned out.



Just enough clearance between the switches and the shifter to avoid changing to a late model shifter
