well she's back on the ground. when i first bolted on the wheels i discovered the spindles were hitting the wheels. i've heard a lot of stories of control arms rubbing, but i haven't heard that about the spindles before. i bought some 5/16" spacers and trimed about an 1/8" off the spindles and it's all good. what do you think? it seems a tad low to me, but i think i just need to get used to it.
