i hate doetchs lifts atm
ok well i got the 3in suspension lift for my 2000 ford ranger 2wd with coil spring supension... the lift did not come with a adjustable alignment cam so i bought the fabtech one... well i put the lift on an it looked nice tightened everything down realy good an drove it across a couple bumps to just test it wel.. heres were the issues begin.... the dang upper control arms slid way back into the mounts an the balljoints and spindle are hitting the frame!!! SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT THE HECK I CAN DO CUZ MY FRONT TIRES ARE LEANING LIKE THIS / \

alignment has to come tuesday cuz monday is a holiday an everything is closed.. i fixed the tires being like: / \ issue got me a long ole crow bar poped the hood an slip it down behind the upper control arms an held it out as my buddys tightened them down an now i got it all fixed up accept for the driver side UPPER A ARM is still hitting frame its annoying the tar outta me cuz i wasnt missing out on meetin some girls at the beach today an ya it doesnt like slam the frame but on a decent bump you can hear it go BONK! its never a good thing to hear... but i hope ill be fine doing easy driving till tuesday.

no it shouldnt hit the frame.. thats bad construction if its hitting the frame... i mean if they dont have enough common since to make the upper a arms a little longer to keep the stock spindle off the frame then.. their just stupid...
ooo when i put my fabtech lift spindle on their will it bring the upper a arm higher up away from the frame????
