Doetsch spindle clearance

[Steve 221]

Just bought my kid a 1999 2wd 2.5l extra cab ranger, put the Doetsch 3" spindle kit on. The clearence on the upper control arm is very tight, seems
to close to me. Has anyone had this same problem?
Thanks

Well at least I'm not alone. I emailed doestch looking for an answer, so I'll let you know when I get an answer. Trying to suprise my kid for his 16th birthday.

the only answer is to get a kit the pushes the front outward allowing for more clearance and travel, or you could install limit straps or bump stops. it sucks but as it was stated to me "its the nature of the beast"
