Supposedly the tennis balls help the coil springs with hard landings and bouncing. I guess it could also work as a bump stop. We saw this on a bronco tough truck and the guy swears by them. Cheap bumpstops I guess. It looks pretty cool---good conversation piece.

I would love new arms but how can I change the frame mount so It does not affect the caster or camber which ever?

As long as you use the same degree bushings that are in the current arms the caster should not change. Those determine what angle the arms hold onto the axle.

The tennis ball trick is interesting - I bet it makes it even MORE of a PITA to change coil springs though.

I have more stuff that would just blow your mind. How about a new Keith Black (hemi) aluminum block, crank and pistons. Everything you need to build a top fuel motor. I have the heads and all the head stuff. 2 Blowers, dual MSD distributors. Too much to list.

Bad thing is I do not know what to do with this stuff. I guess sell it.
