You'll need about 1" to make up for the rack being lower on the KB K-member.

yeah, thats roughly what my tape measure shows as well.

when i set it down with weight on it, i thought the same thing about 96+ spindles......
then i thought back to when i asked you about 94/5 vs. 96+ spindles with this setup......:flip:

*edit. you think i should go bolt-thru instead of tapered stud to get enough adjustment? it will cost as much to swap now as to get a bumpsteer kit. would hafta swap plus still deal with the width issue.

I musta had a brain fade, or didn't remember about the K-member...:hick:

If you go with a bolt-thru you could actually weld and reinforce a spacer on the spindle to help with the rigidity of using the longer bolt with the tall spacer. I never liked the idea of just stacking the spacers and putting that load on the bolt like that.

the bolt-thru is actually cheaper, so ill probly go that way.

this is gonna open a can of worms where MM gets a bunch of my money....

i want their rear outer kit as well. i have the KB adjustable inners and rods
i also will want the bumpsteer gauge
oh and while im buyin shiznit, i may as well get a camber gauge too
