Hagen Frontend Widening

Anyone try this on the 99+ GV/Vit/Tracker. ???

I was thinking about it, but notice the frame where the rear part of the A-arm attaches widens out.  So pulling that mounting point 1" outward would be in a larger opening, and the surface for the bolts nut would be at a much large angle then I would like.

Was thinking about triing it, but I don't weld (yet ;)) or have a welder.  So I have to plan friends and equipment if I want to give it a go.  I think a little bending and pounding would work, but that a little welding for re-inforcement would be prudent!!

The frame is different and there is no room on the back side for the nut to be moved over.

Yeah, what blacknight said. :D
I'm working on fitting stuffing 33" tires, but was thinking if I can have a easliy fixed front axle I might try a lil' bigger. ::)
Worst case, I brake a few axles and have to find someone with 33's looking for 35's... :laugh:
