Billet Control arms that don't require 5.0" or more backspacing

[chtucker]

Stock Sasquatch backspacing is 30mm/5.93" of backspacing (17x8.5" wheels)

I went with 17x8 19mm offset which calculates out to 5.25" of backspacing, meaning my wheels stick our about .5" more than stock.

All of the aftermarket billet upper control arms are stating "maximum" backspacing
Camburg = 5" https://camburg.com/shop/kinetik/up...d-bronco-21-kinetik-series-billet-upper-arms/
Baja Kits = 4.5"/4.75" https://www.bajakits.com/i-31570313-2021-ford-bronco-billet-upper-arm.html?ref=category:1459200

Am I missing something that these billet control arms are going to require +6 or less offset? (zero etc). I would have though since I have less positive offset than stock that I would have been able to use some of these billet arms? Is everyone using billet arms having to buy lower offset wheels?

Are the tubular A-arms more forgiving?

why do you need billet arms? Lift? Alignment? Looks?

The reason is they all use a uniball that requires misalignment spacers and adapters and all that takes up space….

Interesting. I have the Baja Kits Arms ordered. I have Method’s with 0 offset. I hope they are compatible.

I think you will be fine... anything from +6 and less to a negative offset. should work

Lift and travel. I want to go to 37"s from SAS and I want to do it "right"

The larger diameter of the pivot points of these upgraded arms can contact the tire if not using the proper back spacing. It may be just enough to get by for city use, but its recommend to go with at least a +6 to help clear...
