[@RealityUntold]

That looks much easier than I thought! Another amazing video!

[@scrapingpavement]

Thanks happy it was a help!

[@GarageFab]

That was beautiful! I’ve always pie-cut the uppers on the Mighty Max. I wonder if some sort of flip is possible. 🤔 Thank you, Brother!

[@KingDork76]

Just started watching both of your channels, cool to see guys in each others' comments and learning new things

[@scrapingpavement]

Thanks homie! ya I wounder if you could do that on a mighty max, guess it would depend on how the ball joint is mounted 🤔 these being bolt on makes it a cake walk

[@scrapingpavement]

Thanks Robert 🤘🏼

[@sharktooth1985]

Nice work as Always keep it up

[@scrapingpavement]

Thanks homie

[@MatthewScott]

Good job man

[@Banditemcee123]

Great video by chance do you know where I can buy the A arm spindles I need a new set and can't find them anywhere my old ones are damaged. Thanks in advance ✌🏿

[@scrapingpavement]

I've gotten upper control arms from lots of places including amazon, rockauto, or local autoparts stores. As far as spindles I've never bought new stock spindles only belltech drop spindles which are my favorite spindles.

[@Banditemcee123]

@scrapingpavement I've tried rock auto all kinds of different places they say the part is discontinued so now I have to look for an old set and remove them and refurbish them.... Thanks for your time bro and again I love your work truly digging your channel👊🏿✌🏿

[@frankm8533]

Damn those look nice 👌

[@wrongwaygarage]

I love it! Another excellent video!✌🏻

[@slamdcl]

I had to wing it when I did mine lol good vid

[@scrapingpavement]

Wish I did it sooner, Better late than never lol

[@jccruz6380]

Where can I find the cut template? I really appreciate the help you’ve done for me and everyone

[@scrapingpavement]

If you get the kit from my site it will come with one. I may add a downloadable file to my site here soon.

[@RealityUntold]

So, I just ordered the Energy Suspension bushing kit and new upper control arms. The Energy Suspension bushings don't fit in the arm. Do you have any idea what's going on?

[@scrapingpavement]

I've never delt with energy suspension, I've done factory replacement bushings so not sure if there's an issue with there's. Although I will say factory ones were not easy, took a good bit of grease and a 20 ton press to get them seated.

[@travismoon5290]

Will this give any more travel on the d21 4x4?

[@scrapingpavement]

No, I don't think this mod would help on a 4x4/.

[@wilmersanchez7016]

Hello cuál es el objetivo de cortar la tijera y dejarla más delgada solo es estética y va a lograr vajar más la troka

[@scrapingpavement]

Flipping the uppers helps with ball joint angle and airbag clearence. Is it necessary to cut and box the arm to do this? No. But does make the arm look much nicer and meant to be than a control arm flipped upside down. All based on personal preference.

[@tsstarlin]

Is there a coilover conversion in the works?

[@scrapingpavement]

If all goes well yes, i got a set of coil overs waiting to be installed once I get some time. Will be some sort of weld kit.

[@tsstarlin]

@@scrapingpavement that would be awesome! I’m really wanting to do coilovers.

[@itzamedave6242]

Hell yeah

[@country_d2187]

Just a curious question, Does flipping and swapping control arms give more positive or negitive camber?

[@scrapingpavement]

I haven't put a gauge on the hub to see the exact change. Nothing noticeable to the eye that I've seen. I may have to check that out and see if it changes at all and if so how much.

[@lh1678]

is there a company that already sells these pre maid?

[@Dany-db2ir]

No

[@scrapingpavement]

Nothing I'm aware of

[@adrianhansen2562]

Hey mate, do you sell the cut template ?

[@scrapingpavement]

Send me an email and I can send you a file, you may need to play with the scale though to get it right.

[@davidbarrera8985]

Would this help if I lift my truck

[@scrapingpavement]

As far as balljoint angle it would make it worse for a 4x4 as the arm will be angled more down than up like a lowered truck.

[@CTRMichael]

Definitely doing this. Old school proven. Keep it up bud

[@jasonlewis862]

Can this work on a 720 datsun

[@scrapingpavement]

Most likely no

[@dgdynasty2149]

Hi Jake

[@scrapingpavement]

Hi Darin 👋

[@fainfabrication9446]

Building new arms would take way less time.

[@scrapingpavement]

Cool

[@808livin.8]

Another truck non original hes cutting it up.

[@elfabricator1309]

If you don’t know now you know🦾💯
