Brett has responded stating he had no problem swapping out my lowers and suggested that I speak with a lead tech (Rodney) about the change. I'll give them a call sometime early next week. Thanks Bret.

Paul, when did you purchase yours? I believe they made a change in late 2013 that corrected the issue I'm having. And not everyone with the first production run is having the issue I'm having. May be a difference in cars as odd as that sounds.

Does your upper cross shaft have the adjustable aluminum slugs in it for caster angle adjustment? If so, you have the latest design and should be okay.

I thought the issue was the lower control arms. Did they change both at the same time?

I just bought a used Level 2 and Tru-Turn setup so I'm trying to figure out which lower arms I have. I'm not going to run a 275 front tire so I am not too worried but would like to know.

We were just helping him determine what production run he had. As far as I know the 2nd production run included their newer uppers with the adjustable caster slugs.

Be sure to post up the information you come up with after you get your arms swapped

The new control arms corrected my issue. My wheels are now centered in the wheel opening and the tires just kiss the sway bar equal amounts....nothing I can't correct with the addition of stops. No where near the wheels now. Thanks Ridetech!
