lonestar a arm help

[headache]

ok i bought some lonestar +2 a arms and works shocks off ebay. got them in, they looked great. put them on and they only travel like 3"! the a arms bottom out, like the balljoints bind up. here are some pics of amount of travel it has. also the guy said the shocks were for a blaster but they are like 13 3/4" long..

heres maximum bottom travel.

heres compressed all the way

13 3/4 is wat too short, thats what your problem is!

but shouldn't the a arms travel up to being parallel with the ground without shocks attached?

Im not sure how far they go up without shocks, never taken mine out and tried

Your shocks are the problem.

its not the shocks. the very end of the bottom a arm where the ball joint sits is hitting my spindle as they go thru the travel. these a arms are so big right there bc they use 87 warrior ball joints in them. They would work fine if i had drum brakes.. I've got modified spindles, i'm not sure if i can grind enuf off the plates that i welded on that holds the brake caliper or not.

here some pics of the areas i was talking about. These arms werent meant for disc brakes. Once i got to searching, i seen some other people had the same issues as me

Looks like that bottom ball joint is at an angle.May just be the pics.KInd of tough to tell what you have going on to be honest. From the looks of the last few pics it looks like a set of these spindles will do you good. 5th row down last 2 to the right.
