I finally got around to pulling of the geo brackets and installing my front X Factor Arms. For a minute I thought I was crazy... Not that this will cause an issue with my setup, but both arms are set to 19 & 3/8" bolt hole center to bolt hole center. You can clearly see that the two arms are different lengths.

It wont cause a issue unless set all the way in and one bottoms out. My rear lowers were like that although cut shorter. I thought whoever cut them back cut unequally.

Fwiw you will probably need to go shorter with those. The first gen arms would not go shorten then 19 1/8 snd Caster angle was about 2°.
Yours should adjust shorter.

What do you have your front lowers at? I'm at 23.5" and I clearanced everything, I don't see anything hitting and I'm still within spec on threads showing. I'm at 1* of caster now.

I want to say 23 3/8, I set them longer originally because i knew caster would be lower.
