So I guess I should update this..got front calipers and pads today with all the hardware. Will order single passenger side high steer ARM soon so I can do crossover steering, once I have the ARM, I can mount the steering box, and make my draglink.

If I get the front brakes done tomorrow, ill post pics...

I'm surprised you didn't make those brackets yourself. Honestly, it can't be that hard.

if you are talking to me, why? spend a few hours working on making tabs look good or just spend 4$ only makes sense to me. I dont have all the time in the world.

Anything and everything you can possibly order from ballistic will always be on backorder or delayed in some way.

To birdman its easier to buy the tabs. I have no way to make the highsteer arm. And the heim inserts I can't make either.


And yea razor no kidding! Everytime I order something from them its backordered.
