2. Agreed. The current problem is cost of manufacture and availability. We are working to get the cost down so we can just throw the entire range in each package.
3. Agreed, but most people take their car to an alignment shop where they have them by the 5 gallon bucket. Washers will do nicely in a pinch.
4. Agreed, but the amount of offset is somewhat restricted by the diameter and cross section of the cross shaft. Gotta leave some material there for strength.
I dont actually own any Ridetech parts or even a GM for that matter so Im not sure why I keep reading this thread. Ridetech doesn't even make parts specific to my vehicle but perhaps, somewhere in my sub-conscience, I know there is going to be great support and advice from what has to be the most supportive company known to our hobby. Thanks Bret and team. I learn something new every time you post.
