Re: 2WD C10 Modern/Performance Alignments
Hello BMERDOC,

Re: 2WD C10 Modern/Performance Alignments
Some updates but still miles from an alignment. The LCA shaft mod along with the 2" springs and aftermarket disk brake drop-spindles raised a few issues that I've not completely got sorted out yet. To begin with, the increased caster angle created interference with the upper control arm and the spindle casting. No big thang, just ground a bit off the control arm and casting. Next the lower control arm crashed at the cross member. No big thang, more grinder. Now I'm at the steering stop. The big hunk on the spindle casting that was supposed to ram into the bump-stop/steering-stop bracket thingy now rams into the lower control arm. I started grinding on the casting for clearance but soon realized I'd have to about grind the thing down to like a needle to make it clear. I know the bump stop will be too tall as well, so I'm considering lopping both the big hunk and the bump-stop/steering-stop bracket thingy off and fabbing my own setup. Anyone run into this and come out clean? Would love to hear / see what you did!
I'm also looking for the best way to re-plumb the front brake lines for disk. The OG tab where the hard line transitions to rubber now whacks the upper control arm. I'm sure the hose would be stupid looking anyway if I connected it there. What's the best way out of this? Thanks for keeping this thread rolling, it's good stuff!
