Please don't turn this thread into another heated rant about which brand of Lift is better. They all suck when you factor in increased wear on steering components.

IF the arms are too long then you will have to make adjustments by cranking up the T bars to far to compensate for the longer arms. I know for a fact that some of the A arms from AC are too long.[/b]
Carlton, I know where you are going with this and I'm not here to argue with you about it..We talked a little about it this weekend. :p

What I am saying is that every a-arm design is fundamentally the same. It is a T-bar lift, which allows for more wheel travel. This allows the angle of the Tie-rods to increase the twisting force on the CL. When the CL begins to weaken and wobble easily, then then Tie-rods will bend.

It is a poor design by Nissan, and the weaknesses are magnified by lifting the truck. That's just the facts.
