I'm looking for help and/or suggestions with my TnT LA kit install.
I managed to get the crossmember installed with no real problems and then installed the coils and bumpstops while the axle was dropped out of the way. With some maneuvering I got both lower control arms in. I then had to really work to get in the passengers side upper control arm. I figured that after rotating the axle to allow it to fit in, the drivers side should go in somewhat easily... Not a chance.
I had followed the instructions and had both uppers set to 13" from center to center. After bolting in the passengers side it's sitting at about 13 1/8" center to center. With the drivers side mounted on the axle end, when I tried to mount the drivers side it's 3/4" off. The mounting holes for it are at about 13 7/8 from center to center. My lowers are at 31 3/4" on the driver's side and 32" on the passengers side. Currently there is no track bar, and the axle is sitting about 1/2" to 1". I measured from hub center to center and got 100" on the driver's side and 101 1/2" on the passengers side.
I know I need to adjust the lowers so that they are the same length and at the same time figure out if I want to push the axle forward a little bit. My issue is that drivers upper being 3/4" off. The instructions even say to double check and make sure that the two uppers are the same length, but right now it doesn't look even close to possible to get it to bolt in if I try to leave the other at 13 1/8". Anyone else have this problem? Is there something off somewhere I'm missing? And for the adjustment of the lowers, should I try to make them even to each other, or even with the rear axle?
TIA!
