88towmanche Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Few months back the truck got a small puck & shackle lift and shod with 31" BFG's Tires were rubbing the stock LCA's - not undriveable, but really annoying when maneuvering a trailer around. Bought a new set of WJ LCA's off of Rockauto - they are pretty much a direct swap except you have to grind down the ends a bit - I used an abrasive cut-off wheel mounted on miter saw, took a few minutes to shave off a 1/4 inch or so on all sides. Question: The WJ LCA's have a big oval shaped bushing on one end (the stock LCA's had round on both ends) - the arms seemed to mount either way, so I rolled the dice and put the oval bushing on the axle side..... Does it matter? Fixed the rubbing problem - so happy even if I have to take them back off and reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 If I remember right, the big oval goes to the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to live with it for now as is - only using the truck for foul weather this year anyway (if it snows or gotta go into the mountains) Man, had a 50/50 shot - if it wasn't for bad luck.....

Pete M Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 somehow I doubt it makes all that much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolwind57 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 i installed the big oval to the rear on mine a couple years ago. One of my fav mods to date. I kinda doubt it matters which way it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
