: Axle side lower control arm mounting... housing in the way: Options?

OK so I'm trying to line up all of my brackets on my full width 44 (66"WMS) and the driverside LCA mount lands somewhere on the diff and not the tube. Now would I run into problems if I moved each mount out the same distance so that the driver side LCA mount will clear the diff? This is for a WJ, but TJ's, XJ's and ZJ's are narrower so I know they must run into this problem with full widths as well. Any opinions welcomed. Thanks!

you shouldn't have any issues if you move both the mounts out the same amount. just make sure you get a rod end that will handle being at an angle at rest (heim or JJ type end). the arm will still be further inboard in relation to the tire than stock so no real probs on rubbing at turning lock...

Or spread em and bend the arm to suit.

What is the overall length of the arm anyway?
