Tubulars won't work because the bushing barrel is usually the culprit. I even purchased a set of the MMW brand 'Dodger' uppers to see if they might clear on a 1.5" notch & the bushing barrel was the point of interference. At a 2" notch w/tubular arms, you'll likely need to add multiple u-joints & a support bearing to the steering linkage or try an aftermarket/swapped R&P set-up.
well that's exactly what i did. cleared it. Not happy with the way it rides. I might try Rack and get it realign. it rides all over the place. ive checked ball joints and the inners with zero play. last thing is to get realigned and see if that fixes it.
