You have added stuff to top of your axel. Should have sleeved it.

Thanks. I did. Sleeves and gussets.
My issue was the front UCA hitting the truss at ride height.
Is this common?
Do people notch the truss? Trim the UCA? Other options?

Thanks.

Yea don't think that's gonna work to well. Something will definitely break. I would get hold of artec and explain the situation, see what they say. You could trim a little Off the control arm bracket but not sure that would solve the issue. Especially when flexed hard..hopefully someone with that setup will chine in.

So you have no up travel at all, I would pull that arm and re-contour that bracket to gain clearance. If that is not enough, a quick blast with the plasma and move that truss down a half inch. If you were not on the wrong side of the country I would do it for you for the cost of some beer

Doesn't look like a big deal to me, but I make steel bend to my will.
