Re: IMPOSTER! ( or hey guys I got a little jimmy!)
Having some issues with fit. The lower arms would not fit the crossmember. The bushings go in individually but you could only get one side in at a time. Measured the crossmember and got 13 5/16” and outside of the bushings measures 13 7/16”. I think the sleeves were welded slightly off. Rather than calling and arguing with Porter built about this and have to potentially ship parts back and wait even longer, I had my father in law mill 1/16” off each outer bushing face and just installed shims on the inside bushings. Passenger side bolts wouldn’t even go in without drill reaming. These are beautiful parts but for what they cost and how long you have to wait, I think the least they could do is test fit this stuff before shipping it. I also don’t think I should have to print my instructions myself, but also a minor issue.
