You might be able to get away with swapping out the lower control arm bushings to spherical bearings, but I've never messed with it myself. There will definitely be some binding in the stock bushings as the bolts for the inner bushings now point in different angles. You could probably dremel out the rear holes so the arm was straight, then weld some washers onto the mount with the arm bolted in place so everything is lined up correctly. Does that make sense?

I know the next subframe I reinforce I'm definitely doing with the arms installed. Installing wisefab was a giant PITA after I welded everything up.
Yea that does make sense, I wished i did that, that arm definitely put on a fight going on, but it doeskin bind when i move the RLCA up and down.
