      The amount of bend that needs to be done would alter the hole placement.


      Anyone know who sells the M16 / Grade 8 Bolts? ( Ace , lowes and HD do not have them )

          you act like the production tolerances of the body make that difference mean something.

            You can tell by the pic that something isnt square. Unless its just the camera paying tricks.

We are modifying a vehicle form what it came form factory. Something is going to need to be cut or bent or adjusted or moved ect. I seen this issue before with different brands of k members new or used just need to be bent a little will work perfect after. Just part of the game
                When you're bolting an aftermarket control arm to an aftermarket k-member both made by the same manufacturer there should be no fitment issues if things are manufactured properly.

                            Have you stopped to think that maybe it's not a good idea to run that k-member if you CAN re-align the control arm mounting point with a tap from a hammer?

                              Posting on here was "stopping to think"


                              I toss the idea into the "dfwmustangs board of directors" and see what comes out.

                                Hector, this was all I did on my 03..

                                UPR K and Arms tho so I knew it was junk and expected to do it.

                                Any half way alignment machine operator can get the thing set if you do what I did.

                                Assuming you have the CC plates too.
