Anyone have the 6" long arm lift? My lower control arm won't fit into the bracket. I was wondering what you all did if you ran into this dilema. Any input would be appreciated. I was going to use the dremel and take it down some but, thought I would ask for some input first.

Thanks In Advance!

It'll fit. Spread the bracket. It's meant to be tight. If you're talking 1/4" of not fitting, something isn't right.

yup it's a tight fit just bang them open a little if there way to small if not i beleive there is a rounded edge on the ca mount just get the arm pressed up against that and start pounding with a rubber mallet or dead blow
