Ball joint flip

Where do u get spacers from? Do you have to fabricate them yourself or is there a company that specializes in bj spacers. How much space do the RC control arms give? anyone know? Wouldnt spacers on factory ca's do the same thing as the RC ca's? BTW this is a great thread IMO. Thx guys!!

Here's the upper ball joint spacers I bought.... perfect fit, but honestly if I knew what I knew now.... I would have just fabricated them myself! Balljoint Spacers Chevrolet S10/15 82Xx
EDIT: I recommend replacing your balljoints at the same time as the flip/spacer install. Get some Moogs.

It will only help wear if you have some what of a lift.... because it puts the angles back towards factory specs

I will try to get them up by the end of the day. The links got moved because I moved the picture into a different folder on photobucket...... I havent been on here in a while because my blazer is broken down and has been for the past month or 2.

I was running BJ spacers on my Nissan for years with the stock BJ being below the A-Arm from factory. Worked great in terms of negative travel and alignement. Only thing you have to watch out for is the A-Arms breaking around the bolts with the spacers. Happened to both of mine until I mounted a stiffening plate on top also.
That said, my BJ's going to be mounted underneath when new ones are on order.
