springtech problems?
i ordered my brother a springtech upper control arm/coil/shackle/shock 3" lift kit for a s10 2wd
so when i got it there were no instructions but its basic science to install (also came with metal plates and no rear shocks) i called and they said that they don't make instructions and im suppose to weld the metal plates to upper control arms which sounds weird but i asked if i could talk to someone they didn't have anyone that knew so i installed the control arms that the bushings didn't fit too well in and now they rub the rim and upper coil mount i checked caster and wheel is centered so i don't see it being flipped to wrong side (ive seen that on s10 and wheel wont turn due to rubbing/ to much +caster) has anyone else had any other problems? i was going to order spindles for for my brothers s10, a set for my silverado and a buddy wanted a set for his but i can't see them making good enough parts also getting ahold of them is a task in its self

Re: springtech problems?
just little companys
springtech has lowering kits /lift kits but nothing worth using if it doesn't fit
