I noticed when on full droop my standard shocks rub on the top wishbone, so I'm thinking to run oversized shocks On the front like say the rough country or pro comp then I'll need to get the grinder out ?

What say you ?
 
Yerp, esp if you have no droop bump stops. I opened up my top arms for the same reason. then I fitted Calmini top arms and had to open them up even more :eek:
Grind away :sly

 
Where did you purchase your calmini arms from? Also have you rose jointed both ends of your track rods? Or just side that connects to steering bar?
 
Calamini arms are pointless and expensive tho ...

Just fix camber with shims and longer bolts m14x60 1.5pitch

Ball joint angle is fine for me at 2" lift, use decent bj like veco ones
 
When used in anger the T2 top arm + 35" tyres aren't up to it. Calmini arm is massively stronger and also corrects not just the camber but castor too. I know it can be done with the existing arm and shims but my system is totally adjustable with out removing anything :p Calmini top arm bushes are also way better than the Nissan rubbery bits for proper offroading. Matybe a little harsh for shopping trips though :lol
Oh yeh, I got mine cheap :naughty
