Studs for Upper Control Arms
 
I was wondering if anyone knew if you could get longer studs for your upper control arms so you can adjust your chamber correctly while inches off of the ground. I think that I will run out of threads on the stud before I get the wheels where I want them to be. If anyone has a site or anything just let me know. Thanks

I already ordered the new factory sized bolts from LMC. I just might take them to my local machine shop and have him take care of them for me.

Any fastener dealer like Fastenal should be able to match up something fairly close. You can always use a longer grade 8 bolt. It doesn't necessariyl have to be a stud, it's just easier.

I went to fastenal and they didnt have anything at all. He was looking in the books and still couldnt find anything. Thought about just using a 1/2 grade 8 bolt but that would be a major PITA to get to with the motor in it

why not just cut that section off the crossmember and move it out an inch or so... problem solved.
