I have 3/4" stagger in my car which helps being I run a fairly short tire EDIT Also if you do it.. set the right tire back.. the left side wants to lift first because of the torque and that keeps the right tire on the ground longer Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 07/20/13 10:57 AM.

I have a set of A body factory upper control arms that were modified to give an inch of extra stagger. Pretty trick setup whoever did it. What they did was offset the ball joint locations. Forward on one and rearward on the other. Anyone has any interest in them I will probably put them in the classified for sale when I get the chance.
