drop spindles and cutting "rain gutter" on LCA
 

What is the best way to cut the lip off on the LCA when using stock wheels after installing the 2" drop spindles?

Im sure a cut off wheel will work the fastest.

Just trim the minumum amount of the lip.

Thanks guys. I will only cut off whats needed. I have a 4" grinder that i may use. Or possibly go out and buy a sawzaw. I feel like cutting of the lip is not good for the LCA but everyone seems to do it and has had good results with it.

If you're really worried about it, you can have a piece of metal welded onto the underside of the arms to box them in. DJM actually used to sell a kit with pre-cut metal pieces for this. The majority of the people I know with trimmed arms haven't boxed them and have never had any issues.

I haved trimmed numerous control arms & have never once had any issues.
