Burkhart Chassis A-Arm Install
Hey guys, this is my first rodeo with totally adjustable upper and lower a arms and I am looking for some baseline information for installation. What are you guys doing to get the adjustments close enough? Just adjusting it all the way in a locking the jamb nuts? I don't want to put this all together and have my alignment guy hate me.
Thanks
Thanks

You can pull measurements from ball joint stud to each mounting point of your old factory arms. This should get you somewhat close to what you had and will probably be real safe to get it to the shop to get aligned. I know with our arms customers usually just install them the way we send them out and drive it in. Now if your alignment shop isn't close to you that could be a whole different scenario.
You should be able to tell if something is way out of spec when you install the new components just by eye when the car is on the ground at ride height.

Thanks for the response, that was my initial thought as well. However, this k-member is the 1 inch narrowed version and I do not have my stock stuff around.
Alignment shop is 2 miles away and will be trailer. No big deal there.

Got it all roughed in, stock spindles are a bit close to the coil overs for my liking, nothing a little grinding on the back of the spindle won't take care of.
I may just have to bite the bullet and order some of y'alls spindles.
