    Stay away from the AM arms. They were designed around a WK running a double-stacked lift and will not work for a properly lifted xk/wk. The arms push the knuckle out further which is the opposite of what we need to get our camber within spec when running 2-3" lift

    Matt, i read this in your pinch weld faq. What do you mean with plastic hvac line guide ?

    2) Cut away as much from the plastic HVAC line guide as possible. It sticks out further than it needs to and you'll gain almost 1/2" more clearance.

    Trim the part circled in red. It'll allow you to pull the fender liner back further for more clearance.

    Did the mod today. Drivers side went great, not as good on the passenger side. The self tapping screw was easy on the drivers side. On the passenger side there seems to be a new wall 1/4" behind the first. Have you also drilled into this ?

    Anybody know if its ok to drill into the second layer on the passenger side ? Would really like to get a self tapping screw there to gain som clearance.

    I'm also considdering the superchips flashpaq to turn of the tpms. Has anybody tried to remove the sensors ? is it ok if they are first turned off ?

    Are you sure you're hitting a 2nd layer or did you drill through the bent over pinch weld. Either way you're good to go.

    I turned off my tpms with superchips. Its easy. Then throw in whatever stems you want

    I looked at my engine (07 hemi) and those hoses look like they'll work. Did you pull off your engine cover and look where the existing hoses go? They come out of the firewall and go in the rear/top of the engine.

    You also shouldn't have to cut any hoses. Just move the clamps and twist/pull to get the existing hoses off without damaging them.

    I might try. It just looks like the bends are not logical and a bit strange with the hole noe beeing equal.
