My Ride Tech lower Strong arms are too narrow!

[RLJ676]

I had the same problem w/ ridetech lowers on my 72 Camaro. For "bolt in" it was the most sweat I've ever broke lol. Used pry bars and sheer will over hours to get them in. Wouldn't wish it on anyone... I'd just make the Hotchkiss work if it fits, and honestly would have shipped these back if there was an alternative that would have fit and I knew it.

If there's that much frame variance they should ship w/ two bushings, a wide and a narrow inner. For the price I don't think that'd be unreasonable...

I hear ya RL! Just couldn't understand why there was such a large discrepancy... Seems RT erred on the narrower dimension to facilitate a "universal" fit. IDK. But if the Jack screw fix is too radical and won't make enough room to easily slide in the strong arms without significant distortion, I may have to opt out, but the frame material in that area is fairly thin so hoping for the best.

The bushing options is a good idea. Perhaps many others have had this problem but have never expressed their difficulties with RT?

Thanks for the input. Appreciated.
Jack screw comes today. Guaranteed from amazon to be here by 8pm. If that late, will do tomorrow and update the thread.
