| not sure either, unless the thought was to keep things from coming up and not worrying about straight on pokes, not sure, I'll have to ask when I see Tony again. I just thought they looked cool, LOL

| A-Arm guards are not necessarily CV boot guards also. They look good. | |

Caliper-clearence Gunny. At full-lock they would hit them if not cut. Now why they put the calipers forward, not sure. Would have been just as easy to locate them rearward, IMO. | |

Pate, they moved the brake calipers forward in order to drop the steer knuckle. This allows the tie-rod to be place on top of the knuckle. The tie-rod boot would wear fast with the old design. Well that is why I think they did it. | |

You are aware that there is a rubber boot over the end of the tie-rod end? It helps keep crap out. Also, there is a knuckle that comes off of the spindle which the tie-rod end attaches to. It is the same design on most every machine on the market. Do you follow now?????? | |
