First step in the suspension is done. Once I can get the shocks down the road the upper control arms, if as advertised, should take the the front travel from the stock 9 inches to about 12.
It the heim joints at the body and the Icon Delta joint allow for a bit more up travel, but mostly more down travel. They are beefy and light. The area around the ball joint also has more clearance eliminating a limitation for tire width. Wheel well clearance at full up travel is still a factor at full up travel. I do have some notes about fitting 285/75r18 on the front with rubbing. No issue in the rear.
Planned suspension is Bilstein 8112 up front and the 8100 in the rear with better links in the rear. Probably all that next February! Shh don't tell my wife.
