Hi all,
I am installing the SPC adjustable ball joints (23420) with the stock Commander upper control arms and also plan to lift the front just a bit (1.25") using the Bilsten 5100 shocks. I am trying to figure out how much to adjust the ball joints and in which direction (in or out)--I emailed SPC and they were not all that helpful, saying the work needs to be done by an alignment shop. I realize it will need an alignment, but trying to get a good initial setting--as I suspect many alignment shops are not all that familiar with adjusting these ball joints as part of doing a front alignment. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? In the picture I've attached, I slid them out about a quarter of an inch, but not sure if that is the right direction or amount.
Thanks much.
