Hard on upper BJ's?

I've been curious but havn't asked yet, doesn't allowing the suspension to drop this far put an awful lot of stress on the upper BJ? Seems to me by the time the truck is complete, the weight of the truck sitting on the upper BJ twisted this far around could easily cause the BJ to break. For this reason, I've been afraid to mod my truck to go this far.

Re: Hard on upper BJ's?

The angle does get bad, some people flip the upper a-arms and put them on the opposite sides of the truck. Here's a link...

I have never tried it, Rg
