Default Just ordered BMR stuff

Ordered the BMR lower boxed control arm with the spherical bearings and the control arm relocation brackets. Getting it setup to clear 10 rims for the track.

Good choice with BMR for your components. If you are talking about using 15" by 10" rims for the track you will also need to trim the shock mounts on the differential housing and use Sway Bar Relocation Brackets.

For tire clearance I also removed the upper jounce bumper pad from the frame and relocated the jounce bumper inboard to directly under the frame rail.

Thanks, I have that already. I have a watts link suspension and the relocation brackets from that kit (its lowered too) do not account for the sway bar getting relocated. There is no section thats been cut away for it to clear like the BMR's. Also, the sway bar is much larger then the OEM so, I ordered the new BMR's. As long I was at it, I'm installing the BMR lower control arm too.

I'm hoping these BMR brackets give me the room I need to swing the sway bar up to the new location to clear the 15x10's.
