D30 flex limit question????????????
Well i found out the reason why i cant get a whole lotta flex out of my front axle. Its because i have a metal bracket thats part of the lower shock mount, in the way of the control arm!! It wont let the control arm drop any further.
this is a LPD30 if that makes a diffrence in brackets let me know!!!
Can i just Grind it off or make a slot in it?

Many people do grind away a little off the metal to allow for more clearance. Just don't take to much off. I will be doing the same when I swap out my front axle.
Also make sure that your front shocks are not limiting the axle flex. If they are not long anough it could also damage the shocks from over extension.

Anybody have any pictures, so i can use them as a reference as to how much i can take off?
Or i can just do it to where i think its still gonna be strong enough!

Yep, I notched my lower shock mounts when I put on my X Flex upper and lower control arms. Check out the avatar for what it can do now.
