WahooSteeler Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 How much lift can I go with WJ LCA's, without substantial cutting and grinding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 what do you mean by "substantial cutting and grinding"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Pete, generally I'd prefer not to cut and grind much, if anything, off the mounting buckets since I don't really wheel my truck so trying to determine if I need to just get new LCAs. I have the WJ arms in now and of course the improvement was dramatic and eliminated the rub of my 31s at full lock. I'm replacing the ZJ V8 coils in there now with OME 2930s plus keeping the 1.5" spacer already there so I think I'm going from @2.25-2.5" to 3.25-3.5" lift which was the goal.

Pete M Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 If you can find my thread about my '90, you should find pics of what I nipped off the arms. not because I needed to, but because I wanted to for that theoretical maximum flex I never needed. I'm not the only one that's done the conversion and I'm not sure I've heard of anyone else trimming them like I've done. you should be just fine.

watchamakalit Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I am running wj arms with 2" spacers. The only grinding I had to do was to the bushing width. I didn't do any additional grinding like pete did. I do get a little rub at full lock with my 31's but I know it happens and just don't turn it that tight. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchamakalit Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Yes but just slightly. I re-read my post before and think I need to clarify I am running 2" COIL spacers. No wheel spacers. Turbine wheels with 31 general grabbers.
