I'm in the same boat, been running the 35s for a year now. My camber was just at the outer limits to begin with.

It recommends removing the ball joints, if you have an experienced welder putting these on, could you bypass this step?

Yes ORE recommends you use some wet rags to keep the ball Joint and surrounding area cool.

x2 -- I'm in the same boat. Both the local 6 States Distribution drive train shop and Bill's 4x4 passed on installing the magnum 44s and gussets for me. There is another 4x4 shop in town I need to check with and then I'll have to consider putting the JK on the trailer and taking it out of town for the install. Any suggestions?

I have a set of Mag 44 sleeves and C2 gussets and I was wondering my buddy has an arc welder, now I dont know the real welding diffrences between mig and arc but would it be fine to weld these on with an arc welder?

WOL had a bent C, that is why he was pulling to the right. I bet if we with a moderate amount of lift went and put our rigs on the alignment machine, a good percentage of us will have our camber out of spec, me for one. Thankfully I caught mine in time. I have had my lift on for about a month and have not left the asphalt yet because of this.

Anyhow I am running ProComp XT 37" on my stock front axle. I think am will install EVO C2 Gussets and Mag 44's just so I feel better. I do a fair amount of water crossings when I go out and I think the Mag 44's will seal the axle up better. Anyone running EVo mag 44's got anyfeed back?
