Ok let me start off by saying what a day and what bitch those front springs are...anyways ive attached some pictures to get input from others that have installed tubular uppers and lowers. I bought new umi lowers to go with a pair of uppers that were acquired from a friend ( had a receipt from wildside speed for gbody uppers with them ) If you look at the pics you can see where the upper control arm is pulled way down tight against the frame. Now I know that when the suspension is "sprung" it will push this up BUT my big question is this. In order for me to put the spindle on the upper ball joint I had to ream out the opening. Is that normal? Also, the passenger side upper does not have near the same amount of vertical travel, it gets hung up on the frame ( see pic ). Not sure if this is correct but before I spend more F'n money on this thing I want some opinions. Is this upper for taller spindles ( b-bodies ?? ) or does it look correct for the stock spindle? Sorry for such a long and disconcerted post but Im really frustrated at the moment - I had to walk away from it for the evening.
